When completing the certificate, a competent person is required under section 77 of the BR 2021 to include the basis for giving the certificate and state the extent to which the competent person has relied on tests, specifications, rules, standards, codes of practice or other publications. What is the purpose of this form? (section 10 of the Building Act and sections 73 and 77 of the BR2 2021) The information in this form informs the building certifier’s decision making when they are assessing a building development application, issuing the building development approval for the building work the subject of the certificate (form) and when amending the building development approval due to the receipt of updated aspect information such as glazing or truss specifications or revised excavation drawings. Can a manufacturer or supplier give this Form 15? A building certifier can accept this form from a manufacturer or supplier who the certifier has decided is a competent person (design-specification). A manufacturer or supplier of building materials can give this form if they have undertaken the design component for the product. For example a window manufacturer who designs, constructs and supplies the windows to industry could give this form. Competent person (section 10 of the Building Act 1975 and Part 6 of the BR 2021) A building certifier must assess and decide to appoint an individual as a competent person before they can accept design- specification help. When deciding whether a person can be a competent person, the building certifier must assess the person having regard to their experience, qualifications and skills and ensure the person holds a licence or registration if required. The building certifier is required to keep detailed records about what was considered when appointing a competent person. For further information about assessment of someone as a competent person refer to the Guideline for the assessment of competent persons. What is required if a manufacturer or supplier did not do the design work for the product? A manufacturer or supplier who is not part of the design process may give the construction contractor, builder, competent person or the building certifier evidence of suitability such as a product technical statement under Part A5 of the Building Code of Australia (BCA), for an aspect or material stating that it is compliant with the relevant reference documents in the BCA i.e. the applicable Australian Standard/s. What if there is not enough space for all the supporting material/documents? Items 2, 3 and 4 requires the competent person to clearly identify the extent of the assessment that was undertaken for aspect/s of work identified in this form. For instance, there is provision for material such as specifications, standards, codes or other relevant publications to be referenced in the form. However, if the space in the form is not sufficient to accommodate all of this material, you can create and refer to additional material in an addendum or attachment to the form. The form is the Microsoft Word version, that you can download and edited to include additional material in the relevant parts of the form. Note: that editing the form in the Microsoft Word version may cause the relevant boxes to expand and increase the length of the document. This is acceptable and does not change the approved form, provided the section text (description on the left-hand side of the page) is not altered.
