The National Building Code of India (NBC) provides guidelines for regulating building construction activities nationwide. It serves as a Model Code for adoption by all agencies involved in building construction, be they Public Works Departments, other government construction departments, local bodies, or private construction agencies.

This standard was developed to regulate the basic functions and performance requirements for residential buildings, considering relevant national laws and regulations. It aims to implement national policies related to technology and economics and advance sustainable development.

This standard provides a test method for determining the fire propagation characteristics of exterior wall assemblies and panels used as curtain wall assemblies constructed using combustible materials or incorporating combustible components.

Support for the implementation, harmonisation and further development of the Eurocodes.

The paper focuses on current and future outputs from the project work by committee CEN/TC 250 WG4 and how stakeholders (e.g., practitioner and academic researcher users of the TS) can provide valuable support to future developments, including the first version of Eurocode standard EN 19101.

The primary Building Regulations in South Africa are contained within the SANS 10400 series, developed and maintained by the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS). These building standards cover a wide range of topics, from fire safety and electrical installations to energy efficiency and accessibility for people with disabilities.

As a performance-based code, the National Construction Code sets the minimum required level for the safety, health, amenity, accessibility and sustainability of certain buildings. The Australian Building Codes Board, on behalf of the Australian Government and each State and Territory government, produces and maintains the National Construction Code.

The provisions of this section govern the requirements and uses of fibre-reinforced polymer in and on buildings and structures.

ACI produces hundreds of documents dedicated to improving the design, construction, maintenance, and repair of concrete and masonry structures. Standardization is the most rigorous consensus process used by ACI. Its sustainability goals include repair / upgrading / strengthening existing structures w/ appropriate technologies including composites.
