2023 – September
The following revisions to the NZ Metal Roof and Wall Cladding Code of Practice were published on 1 September 2023.
Versioning and presentation:
- Beginning with this revision the Code of Practice updates its version number with each update, to make it clear when the current update was published.
The version numbering uses a year.month pattern: for example this update is v23.09, where 23 indicates the year (2023) and 09 indicates the month (September).
Refer to Revision History for a log of specific changes in each update. - An overall upgrade to styling for improved typeface readability and better contrast in headings.
- Additionally there are new "Quick Actions" on the COP Home page for reference to updates and interactive tools, and the registration process has been streamlined.
Substantial change to recommendations:
- Maintenance and all its sub-clauses have been comprehensively revised.
- Sumps: Added recommendation to seal internal sumps against the sides and soles of the gutter.
- Correctly Installed Gutter: Changed recommendation for gutter drainage to be more consistent with MBIE tolerances.
- In Structure, tables and graphs have been rearranged to correspond to whether the design is under NZS3604 or AS/NZS1170:
Fastening Pattern Tables – Designs to NZS 3604
Wind Load/Span Graphs – Designs to AS/NZS1170
Editing and rearrangement:
- Apron Flashings: Corrected name for chase and face fastened flashing to Reglet flashings. Added definition to the Glossary.
- Sheetmetal Flashings on Trapezoidal Profiles: Clarified recommendations for trapezoidal sheet cover above the flashing when using under-soaker flashings.
- Revised the Introduction to Structure to make it easier for users to find the correct fastening pattern for NZS3604 or Wind Load/Span Graphs for SED (AS/NZS 1170) designs.
- Maximum Span and Fastener Requirements: renamed the clause.
- Compatibility Table: Correction to use caution for contact between concrete and steel.
- Revised Notched Flashing illustration to recommend a screw fastener to the purlin in preference to a rivet.
- Unfavourable Circumstances for Controlling Expansion: inserted vertical axis label: sheet length (m). Removed Pan Fixing as unfavourable condition for expansion control.
- Standing Seam Roofing Wind Loads: Renamed table — Generic Standing Seam Clip Spacing.
- Purlin Creasing: Copy editing for clarity.
- Flashing Edges: Removed recommendation to provide longitudinal flashings with an anti-capillary gap, as this is impractical.
The rest of the updates consisted of minor corrections and edits.
