| Abstract | In many countries a move towards performance-based codes has already begun with varying degrees of success. In Canada, the move is currently underway towards objective-based codes where the objectives are articulated around the acceptable solutions. In dealing with innovation as an alternate solution there will remain a complexity for verifying compliance. To compliment objective-based codes, the standards community could undertake the development of performance-based standards for an explicit 'intended use' which could be universal and apply to innovation as an alternate solution. This paper explores the benefits and complexity involved for developing performance-based standards for the intended use of a construction material or system. These standards would be universal and assist in product/system compliance verification for innovation meeting the code objectives. |
