Amendment Register

Current at: 28 July 2010 (F)

Why Material Is Amended

The Building Code of Australia (BCA) is amended every year, Australian Standards, Manufacturer Directions and the like change over time, errors in existing material can be discovered, and new issues continually emerge.

Whilst As-Built Learning Exchange (ABLE) endeavours to amend material in a timely manner, individuals must familiarise themselves with relevant Codes and Directions to ensure the material they are using is currently applicable.

How To Suggest An Amendment or Improvement

In a community of practice people learn how to work smarter by exchanging their working experiences with others.

Whether you’re a designer or draftsperson, estimator or scheduler, contract administrator, construction manager, supervisor, tradesperson, supplier or contractor you belong to the industry community and are part of a community of individuals that do what you do.

If you find an error in ABLE material, if you have suggestion for a better way to describe an issue, or if you have a recently made a “watch out for this” discovery, why not share it with ABLE.

Just call T: 9317 3648 or M: 0412 010 939, or click Contact ABLE in the grey sidebar to send an email.

ABLE will do any leg work that is required, and thank you for your contribution.

How You Know Material Has Been Updated

A "Current at: (DATE)" tag is provided on all material, usually as a header to the material (as shown at the head of this page). This tag identifies when the material was originally published, or last amended, and should be interpreted as follows:

02 Mar 08

A date by itself (2nd March 2008) identifies when the material was first published.

15 Oct 08 (A)

A date (15th October 2008) followed by a bracketed capital letter (A) identifies that it is an amended version of an original publication, and when the amendment was published.

(A), (B), (C)…

A bracketed capital letter is added to the date at each amendment. Capital (A) indicates this is the FIRST amended version of the material, and a capital (C) indicates this is the THIRD amended version of the material, and so on.

What To Look For

If you have downloaded or used material as a reference source, the Current at: (DATE) verifies the date up to which the material was current.

If material has a Current at:(DATE) that is prior to the current 1 May BCA amendments date, it has not been updated and could be affected by BCA amendments.

An updated Current at:(DATE) indicates that the material has been amended. When published material is amended the title of the material is listed alphabetically and an indicative description of the change(s) is provided.. A typical Amendment entry reads as follows:

03 Jan 08 (A) – page 2, construction sketch, editorial corrections made to notations

01 May 09 (B) – page 1, third heading, BCA references updated to reflect BCA 2009 amendments
