Scope of use
Residential, commercial, industrial and.multi storey up to 10mtrs
Timber or lightweight steel framing. Steel framing, a thermal break is required. Timber framing - moisture content must not exceed 16%.
In earthquake zones as defined in NZS 3604:2011.
Bracing demand must meet the requirements of NZS 3604:2011, Tables 5.8,
5.9 and 5.10.
The building must be designed in accordance with an applicable building
design method as specified in saveBOARD NZBC E3 Design Guide
As a rigid air barrier. › The building must be designed in accordance with the building design
methods as specified in saveBOARD NZBC E3 Design Guide Internal
Moisture Control (June 2022, Version 1), table 1, Approved saveBOARD
Design Methods (SDM). SDM 1 specifies climate regions where MVTC is not
required. SDM 2 specifies design criteria input options. SDM 3 allows for
project specific hygrothermal analysis. saveBOARD recommends the use of full building mechanical ventilation
and temperature control (MVTC) for controls for relative humidity and
interior temperature in residential buildings.
As a wall bracing element. › Installation must be in accordance with Scion P21 test assembly.
Alternative fasteners can be used as specified in BRANZ P21, ST16230-01

Supporting evidence
The product has and can make available the following additional evidence to support the above statements:
Use in Service History
Codemark Certification has been processed and is currently pending.
saveBOARD is a US proven product with > 12 years in-service history. The product has been successfully tested (in the US) to meet all appropriate International Building Code requirements for Rigid Air Barrier.
saveBOARD has been recently tested in New Zealand for NZBC structural bracing requirements and demonstrates performance above NZ market leading products. The documentation attached clearly demonstrates that saveBOARD meets all obligations under s14G of the Building Act.
We now have third party experts provide compliance statement (suitable for industry use) confirming that the US test certification combined with NZ testing demonstrates equivalence to NZ Building Code requirement
