Dear Mr Merryweather

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of  17 December 2016 requesting under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

 

With regard to Determination 2015/010 (wall surface linings for a school
hall) Determination 2015/022 (surface linings at a function centre) MBIE
FAQ item:

[1]https://www.building.govt.nz/building-co...

 

Can you please provide the supporting documentation, calculations, reports
or correspondence between the parties regarding the acceptance of wall
linings with a higher group number than the Building Code allows (eg
timber linings as group 3 instead of the required group 2s)

 

This may include (for example) the calculations or reports looking at
tenability in the space as a result of the wall linings, or any
discussions on the effect of these linings on the space and occupant
safety and the Building Code compliance and how the limitations required
for acceptance of a waiver were derived.

 

Please note that the days from 26 December 2016 to 15 January 2017
(inclusive) are defined as non- working days in the Act and are not
counted in the calculation for the response due date. This will affect the
time period for responding to your request.

 

Your request is being processed in accordance with the Act and a response
will be sent to you in due course. If you have any enquiries regarding
your request feel free to contact us via email [2][MBIE request email] or
using the contact details below.

 

 

Yours sincerely,

Alan Witcombe

Dear Mr Merryweather –

 

Further to your email to our Market Services team (reproduced below), I
have split the document into two parts to reduce the file size. I attach
the first part of this here, and will forward part 2 under separate cover.
If you still have issues opening this, please come back to me directly and
I will try a different approach.

 

Please accept our apologies for this inconvenience.

 

Kind regards
