Your builder mentions “compliance certificates,” your council wants “approved materials,” and somewhere in the middle, someone throws around terms like “NCC requirements” with the confidence of a person who definitely knows what they’re talking about. Meanwhile, you’re just trying to build a deck where you can drink coffee in peace, not navigate a maze of building regulations that seem designed to confuse mere mortals. When it comes to composite decking approvals, the paperwork can feel more overwhelming than the actual construction.
Here’s where CodeMark certification steps in to save your sanity. At WoodEvo, we’ve seen too many homeowners get caught up in approval delays and compliance headaches, which is exactly why we pursued CodeMark certification for our products. Think of it as having a universal building passport that gets you through regulatory checkpoints without the drama.

What is CodeMark Australia and Why Should You Care?
CodeMark Australia is essentially the gold standard for building product certification in this country. It’s a national scheme that confirms building products comply with the National Construction Code (NCC) and Building Code of Australia (BCA). Instead of each state and territory having their own approval processes, CodeMark certification of composite decking gets recognised everywhere.
The beauty of this system lies in its simplicity for end users. When your builder specifies CodeMark certified products, they’re choosing materials that have already jumped through all the regulatory hoops. No more waiting weeks for local approvals or dealing with different requirements in different states. It’s like having a VIP pass that works at every venue across Australia.
For homeowners, this translates to fewer delays, less uncertainty, and more predictable project timelines. Your builder can order materials knowing they’ll meet local requirements, and your project can proceed without those frustrating approval bottlenecks that seem to plague so many building projects.
The NCC CodeMark Scheme Explained Simply
- National consistency: One certification works across all states and territories
- Pre-approved compliance: Products have already been assessed against relevant building codes
- Streamlined approvals: Reduces paperwork and waiting times for project approvals
- Professional confidence: Builders and certifiers can specify products with certainty
- Quality assurance: Ongoing monitoring ensures continued compliance with standards
The scheme operates under strict guidelines managed by the Australian Building Codes Board, ensuring that certified products maintain their compliance throughout the certification period. This isn’t just a tick-box exercise, it’s an ongoing commitment to meeting Australian building standards.
How CodeMark Certificate Decking Benefits Your Project
When you choose CodeMark building product certification for your decking project, you’re essentially buying peace of mind alongside your materials. The certification process involves rigorous testing and assessment to ensure products meet all relevant Australian standards for structural adequacy, fire safety, health, and amenity requirements.
For decking specifically, this means the products have been evaluated for load-bearing capacity, slip resistance, fire performance, and durability under Australian conditions. The assessment covers everything from structural engineering requirements to safety considerations that matter in real-world applications.
WoodEvo’s CodeMark certified composite decking removes the guesswork from material selection. Our products have undergone a comprehensive evaluation to confirm they meet Building Code of Australia requirements, giving you confidence that your investment complies with national standards from day one.
