The NZ Metal Roof and Wall Cladding Code Practice (COP), has been updated effective 1 November 2018.

In this Update no recommendations have been altered that would require changes to existing projects in progress

Summary of Changes in this Update

  • The previous External Moisture, Flashings and Penetrations sections have been updated to closer reflect the requirements of NZBC Clause E2 – External Moisture.
    All clauses and sub-clauses in these sections have been substantially revised and drawings updated to show details more clearly.

  •  Other updates consist of Category 1 – minor errata corrections to spelling, and grammar and layout.
