Conclusions
robustdetails
Part E Robust Details
New Code Proposals
• Robust Details Limited will publish (and
update) a Table of constructions that meet
the Code criteria
• Builders using Robust Details will NOT
have to conduct additional PCT to claim
Code credits
• PCT is an alternative still available for
builders who choose to follow this route to
compliance (but there are no ‘rewards’ for
extra testing)
