Approved materials

The Christchurch City Council Construction Standard Specifications series contains acceptable materials to construct assets that will be taken over or maintained by Christchurch City Council.

Final acceptance is granted to those components of an asset system that fully comply with the requirements.

The selection of materials for installation in a particular location should be undertaken with consideration for the particular design constraints of the project and in conjunction with the criteria set out in the Christchurch City Council Infrastructure Design Standard.

Notification time
From time to time new materials will come into the market and replace existing products. To ensure a smooth change over, a notification time is nominated (normally six months) whereby the existing material is acceptable, and the new replacement material may also be used. This period is intended to assist distributors and suppliers to run out old stock. During this time, the new material will be designated with an interim acceptance status.

At the end of the notification time, the interim acceptance becomes final acceptance and the redundant material is no longer acceptable and will be removed from the list.
