Cross-Connection Control Handbook
Australian Building Codes Board
The NCC is a performance-based code containing all Performance Requirements for the construction of buildings. To comply with the NCC, a solution must achieve compliance with the Governing Requirements and the Performance Requirements. The Governing Requirements contain requirements about how the Performance Requirements must be met. A building, plumbing or drainage solution will comply with the NCC if it satisfies the Performance Requirements, which are the mandatory requirements of the NCC.
This document provides guidance to practitioners seeking to demonstrate compliance with the Performance Requirement for cross-connection control in NCC Volume Three, the PCA.
This handbook firstly provides an overall introduction to the concept of cross-connection and backflow prevention followed by guidance on how to comply with the cross-connection control requirements of the NCC.
