Lodgement User Rules

All individuals are required to follow the Scheme’s rules and regulations regardless of additional or alternative accreditations.

All individuals must lodge every test regardless of the result, ‘readiness’ or otherwise unless the test is not carried out for Building Regulations compliance.

Members must issue the Lodgement report alongside any report or other documentation provided by the tester.

It is not acceptable to only refer to the Lodgement report from within the testers own report.

All deviations must be recorded within the deviations section.

AVCCS reserves the right to refuse access to lodgement, and therefore suspended certification for the following reasons:

·       Deliberately failing to submit all tests conducted.

·       Submitting information that is false or misrepresentative, such as incomplete addresses.

·       Using a certificate or report that is not an AVCCS Lodgement certificate.

·       The test being conducted by an unregistered tester.

·       The tester not carrying out sufficient numbers of test in accordance with the Building Regulations.

·       Failing to pay annual membership and audit fees.

·       Failing to pay the lodgement fees within 30 days of invoice.

·       Any other reason that causes deliberate confusion, misrepresentation or puts the integrity of the Scheme at risk.

Failing to abide by the above rules and regulations may result in the testers certification being withdrawn indefinitely.
