AAMA 503 and BS EN 13051 are more exacting means for on-site assessment.
NCC wall cladding compliance guidance
The 2022 Building Code of Australia (BCA) specifies Verification Methods F3V1 (Volume One) and H2V1 (Volume Two) to evaluate the weatherproofing performance of direct-fix cladding, cavity, and unique wall systems. The methods provide a means to verify compliance with the relevant NCC BCA Performance Requirements of F3P1 and H2P2 for water penetration in an external wall.
CWCT soft body and hard body impact performance
The Centre for Window and Cladding Technology technical notes 75 and 76 specify a test method and classification system for assessing cladding panels for impact performance under safety and serviceability conditions, especially in applications where cladding is readily accessible to the public and the chance of accident and of misuse exist.
beTcs Asia-Pacific possesses the specified soft and hard body impactors, in accordance with ISO 7892.
