The CodeMark® Certification Scheme (CodeMark®) is a voluntary building product certification scheme that supports the use of new or innovative products. 

The ABCB and New Zealand's Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment manage the CodeMark® schemes in their respective countries. This includes the development of scheme rules that set out the requirements for the evaluation and certification of products under the CodeMark® scheme. Only accredited certification bodies can issue CodeMark® Certificates of Conformity. These companies are responsible for evaluating products and issuing certificates where they comply with the BCA.

Certification bodies are assessed and accredited by JAS-ANZ, who works on behalf of the CodeMark® scheme operators to maintain product certification standards. Relevant legislation requires building control authorities to accept CodeMark® Certificates of Conformity as evidence of compliance with the BCA, as long as the product is used as specified on the certificate.

We're proud to announce that our T2 Blue, T2 Red and T3 Green Plus treatments have achieved CodeMark® certification, and are therefore fit-for-purpose and absolutely BCA compliant.

1. Do timber product treatments need to conform to the Australian Standards?
   No. The Australian Standards are only one pathway to BCA compliance. CodeMark® Australia is another and equally accepted.
    
2. Will the Australian Standards treatment reference remain stamped on our products?
   Yes, where the the Australian Standards are still relevant (T2 Red and T3 Green). No, where treatment innovations have been CodeMark® certified (T2 Blue and T3 Green Plus), or for new product treatments where no relevant Australian Standard exists.
    
3. Will certifiers and authorities question CodeMark® Australia?
   No. Many building products use CodeMark® certification, so no onsite issues are expected.
    
4. Do other timber products use CodeMark® certification?
   Very few treated timber products are innovative or third party audited, hence very few are CodeMark® certified.
    
5. If almost no other timber products are CodeMark® certified, then why bother?
   As an Australian company, we audit many aspects of our business to ensure compliance and best practice. Yet the Australian Standards require no auditing of product treatments. We view CodeMark® Australia as an opportunity to provide our customers with an additional level of assurance regarding the treatment quality and consistency of our solid wood framing products.
