Managing Non-Compliance
A product may look, touch and feel right…but does it comply with Australian Standards? Managing non-compliance is a critical issue – in April this year non-compliant cladding installed in a Melbourne apartment tower fuelled a fire.
On Friday, 23 October, Robert Wesener leads a panel discussion – with an architect, a supplier and a builder – on the key issues in avoiding non-compliance.
Issues to be discussed include:
- Managing your risk
- Licencing and trade obligations
- Research and development
- Product certification
- Safety and design
- Who bears the cost and responsibility if a product is installed and is not compliant?
- Where to from here?
