What is a Reference Specification?

A reference specification defines the minimum project performance requirements for materials and workmanship. It incorporates published documents by a reference to the title or other identification of the document, which may be a standard or a manufacturer’s technical manual.

NATSPEC reference specifications help to overcome information gaps that often leave customers and homeowners with an unsatisfactory product. We believe that their use will encourage more trustworthy builders across Australia to invest in getting it right. Quality buildings will bring back confidence and customers to the market, something from which we all benefit.
