The scope of this standard excludes the primary structure to which the finishes systems may be fixed, but includes the fixing elements. Refer to S1063 Civil Engineering - Cutting, grinding, drilling, fixing to and supporting from existing structures.

For surface coatings, refer to G0230 Good Practice Guide for the Application of Surface Coatings to Premises.

For finishes systems' loading requirements refer to S1053 Building and Station Structures.

For building drainage design requirements, refer to S1052 Civil Engineering - Gravity Drainage Systems and S1056 Civil Engineering - Pump Drainage Systems.

Finishes systems shall be designed and specified for the location in which they are to be installed. The requirements of this standard primarily apply to public facing assets. For finishes systems within staff and maintenance areas, the design and specification shall be demonstrably fit for purpose, in accordance with the appropriate standards.
