Understanding New Zealand’s Product Assurance Supplier Statement (PASS™)
The Product Assurance Supplier Statement (PASS™) is developed by The Building Business (TBB). It aims to support designers, specifiers, installers, and building consent authorities. PASS™ provides evidence that products comply with the New Zealand Building Code. It includes details about product use, design, installation, and maintenance guidelines. This ensures correct application of products in construction projects while meeting regulatory requirements. Notably, PASS™ is a proprietary format created by TBB for product technical statements. It is widely recognized in New Zealand’s construction industry as a reliable compliance tool.
In summary, PASS™ is essential for verifying building product compliance in design, specification, and approval processes.
