Part E Robust Details

New Code Proposals

• Robust Details Limited will publish (and

update) a Table of constructions that meet

the Code criteria

• Builders using Robust Details will NOT

have to conduct additional PCT to claim

Code credits

• PCT is an alternative still available for

builders who choose to follow this route to

compliance (but there are no ‘rewards’ for

extra testing)
