165 Private bushfire shelter performance requirements—performance solutions
Despite anything to the contrary in the BCA, a relevant building surveyor must not determine that a performance solution complies with performance requirement H7P6 of the BCA Volume Two unless the relevant building surveyor—
(a) relies on a certificate under section 238 of the Act by a fire safety engineer, who did not design the building work, that states that the performance solution complies with that performance requirement; or
(b) relies on a determination of the Building Appeals Board under section 160A of the Act that the performance solution complies with that performance requirement; or
(c) relies on a certificate of accreditation issued by the Building Regulations Advisory Committee that states that the performance solution complies with that performance requirement; or
(d) relies on a Certificate of Conformity issued by a person or body duly authorised by the Australian Building Codes Board that states that the performance solution complies with that performance requirement.
