Disclaimer
The recommendations in our literature are based on good building practice, but are not an exhaustive statement of all relevant information and are subject to conditions (c), (d), (e) and (f) above. We have tested the performance of the panels in accordance with the standards and verification methods required by the NZBC and those test results demonstrate the product complies with the performance criteria established by the NZBC. However, as the successful performance of the relevant system depends on numerous factors outside our control (e.g. quality of workmanship and design) we clarify that it is up to other parties to consider the suitability of the system as a whole, and to detail and select the other required products. As such, we shall not be liable for the recommendations made in its literature and the performance of the relevant system, including its suitability for any purpose or ability to satisfy the relevant provisions of the NZBC, regulations and standards, as it is the responsibility of the building designer to ensure that the details and recommendations provided in our documentation are suitable for the intended project and that specific design is conducted where appropriate.
