5 Lodgement checklist: solid fuel heating appliance GUIDANCE INFORMATION Documentation must cover all aspects identified in this lodgement checklist. The checklist is designed to ensure applicants know up front what information is required, please ensure you read it and answer all questions with the applicable answer. This will ensure your application is processed in a timely manner. For guidance refer to the building consent practice notes on the Auckland Council website. All applications submitted in hard copy only must be accompanied by 2 x comprehensive sets of documentation. Standard of documentation Section 7 of the Building Act defines plans and specifications as the drawings, specifications and other documents according to which a building is to be constructed, altered, demolished or removed. Please note: the term professional standard does not mean plans have to be drawn by a designer. As long as the plans are drawn to scale, the applicant may draw their own plans. For record-keeping purposes, it is important that each application accurately reflect any new building work. For solid fuel heating applications only, photocopies of previously approved drawings maybe used if, the quality of the plans are acceptable. However, drawings must be to scale; any stamps relating to that approval removed; and any reference to the work proposed under that earlier application updated. Drawings must be: - Produced to scale on white A3, A2 or A1 paper. Minimum font size of 10 or if CAD 2.5. Produced in black ink or colour (no freehand drawings) each drawing must contain: - a drawing number and title designer s name address of property be dated for version control specifications must be project specific and include relevant supporting documentation (installation details) Producer statement vs inspection If the appliance is being installed by an approved installer a reduced fee may apply if the installer provides Council with a producer statement construction (). In this circumstance, the producer statement negates the need for an inspection. Producer statements will only be accepted by approved installers who are listed on the Auckland Council Producer Statement register. N.B. If the appliance includes a wetback, an inspection will be charged on top of the fixed fee to enable council officers to inspect the plumbing work. Plumbing work must be installed by a registered and licensed Plumber..

Producer statement construction review (PS4) Producer statements must be supported by way of site observation records and instructions, diary notes, testing and commissioning certificates, warranties, or such documents applicable to the construction, which has been undertaken / observed / supervised. On completion of the building work, Council will rely on the producer statement and supporting documentation when making its decision on whether to issue a code compliance certificate. All producer statement authors must be listed on the Auckland Council Producer Statement Register; the register can be found on the Councils Please note that whilst every effort is made to identify producer statement requirements at consent stage; it may be possible that further information is required during construction and prior to the issue of the Code Compliance Certificate.
