Overview of the Certificate of Accreditation process
The installation of an on-site wastewater management system (OWMS) in Tasmania is regulated by the Building Act 2016 and Building Regulations 2016.
Any OWMS installed in Tasmania must be accredited by the Director of Building Control.
Exceptions to accreditation are unique systems authorised by the relevant permit authority, or systems that are exempted by the NCC which are systems that exceed the maximum parameters of the relevant Australian Standards. Systems that are exempted from accreditation by the NCC must still meet the Performance Requirements of the NCC and be designed using a performance solution in accordance with Part A of Volume 3 of the NCC.
