NewTechWood CodeMark® Certification
Nationally Recognised Evidence of NCC 2022 (A1) Compliance, smoother approvals, easier and faster specifications
NewTechWood Cladding is CodeMark® Certified to NCC 2022 (A1)
CodeMark® Certification is Australia’s highest level of government-recognised assurance that a building product meets the strict performance and safety requirements of the National Construction Code (NCC).
The NewTechWood Castellation and Shadowline Wall Cladding is independently tested, appraised and CodeMark® certified (CofC CM40405) to the National Construction Code 2022 (Amendment 1), BCA Volume Two for external wall cladding applications (within certified scope).
What is CodeMark® Certification ?
CodeMark® is a government-recognised certification that confirms a building product complies with the National Construction Code (NCC) – essentially the official rulebook for how buildings must be designed and approved in Australia.
Because CodeMark® is independently assessed and verified, it means the product has undergone rigorous testing by qualified experts.
If your cladding carries a CodeMark® certificate, it’s approved for use in Australian homes with confidence and no guesswork.
Why NewTechWood CodeMark® Certified Cladding Matters
Entire NewTechWood’s Castellaton and Shadowline Cladding Range is CodeMark® Certified (Certificate CM40405), which means our cladding has been independently tested and approved as meeting the requirements of NCC 2022 (A1) for residential homes.
This certification takes the guesswork out of building, giving homeowners confidence that the materials used on their home have been formally checked for safety.
For architects, builders and homeowners, CodeMark® delivers confidence during design, specification and approval, ensuring the materials used are independently tested, verified and compliant.
NewTechWood’s certified cladding profiles fall within the approved scope of our CodeMark® certificate, supporting faster approvals, reduced compliance risk and certainty across your project documentation.
