FOR ACCEPTED DEVELOPMENT
The requirements for Acceptable Development are the acceptable outcomes listed in the Table of Assessment. Accepted
development that complies with all the acceptable solutions is considered to satisfy the requirements. If development complies
with some, but not all, acceptable outcomes, an application for Code Assessment will be necessary and the application will be
assessed against the relevant Performance Outcome(s).
FOR ASSESSABLE DEVELOPMENT
Acceptable outcomes are provided for some, but not all, performance outcomes, and identify ways in which performance
outcomes can be met. Compliance with the performance outcome should be demonstrated and the acceptable outcomes are
considered as one way to satisfy the corresponding performance outcome.
