Dear Belinda

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I acknowledge your email of 30 December 2016 requesting under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

In April 2012 the Department of Building and Housing introduced quantitative pass/fail criteria into the performance clauses of the Building Code for fire safety.

With regard to Building Code Clause C3.4 (internal surface linings), please provide the study, research report, or similar that considered the potential financial impact and job losses to the timber industry for the proposed quantitative pass/fail criteria that are now in effect.

Please note that the days from 26 December 2016 to 16 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 [MBIE request email] or using the contact details below.

Yours sincerely,
