NOTES:
1 Appendix A sets out a flow chart for water supply system design, and Appendix B provides guidance on fire hydrant installations for special hazards.
2 Appendix C was written in an advisory manner as a guide to the use of the Standard. The Appendix also contains charts and information for fire hose losses and nozzle discharge calculations.
Comments to a particular Clause retain the clause number preceded by a 'C' i.e. C1.12 is a comment relating to Clause 1.12. A 'C' Clause is informative and not normative.

Users are advised that when BCA Amendment 7 is issued, it will not necessarily be gazetted in each State/Territory at the time of printing.
