It does not apply to cabling products intended primarily for the distribution of AC mains supply.
It does not apply to products intended to be used for telecommunications earthing systems or
telecommunications power distribution (e.g. earthing/power conductors, earthing bars, busbars,
earthing/power terminals, line tap devices, earth electrodes and associated fittings, batteries,
fuses and circuit breakers). It does not apply to surge suppression devices.
AS/CA S009 2020 Installation requirements for customer cabling (Wiring Rules)
Specifies the requirements for the installation and maintenance of fixed or concealed cabling or

serious comfort and energy efficiency issue. This BSRIA guide recommends upper limits for
both plenum leakage.
CBCA Chilled beams 2012 An Introduction to chilled beams and ceilings
This guide sets out to plug part of that information gap. It provides a comprehensive overview
of the main features of the technology along with the key selection criteria, design decisions
and practical steps for installation, commissioning and maintenance. It is designed to be an
introduction for the non-specialist. It will also serve as a generic overview that provides
sufficient information to address key considerations.
CIBSE AM10 2005 Applications manual 10: Natural ventilation in non-domestic buildings
The original AM10 sought to capture the state of knowledge as it existed in the mid-90s and
present it in a form suited to the needs of every member of the design team. Some 10 years on
from the time when the initial manual was conceived, the state of knowledge has increased,
and experience in the design and operation of naturally ventilated buildings has grown. This
revision of AM10 is therefore a timely opportunity to update and enhance the guidance offered
to designers and users of naturally ventilated buildings.

The new Commissioning Code reflects modern technology and statutory changes, as well as
the growing realisation that many key decisions relating to the construction process are taken
in the very early stages of a project.
CIBSE CCC 2001 Commissioning Code C - Automatic controls
The effective operation of building services control systems is highly dependent on proper
commissioning. Commissioning enables the design to be fully realised, delivering a building
with services which are far more likely to work as designed, therefore delivering significant
improvements in the performance of buildings. Automatic control systems have evolved
dramatically over the last decade. CIBSE’s new Commissioning Code C: Automatic controls
presents current standards of good commissioning practice in the form of recommendations
and guidance. It compliments last year’s publication, Guide H: Building control systems, to
provide a comprehensive up-to-date package of information. The new Code is equally

Guide D aims to provide guidance to practitioners involved in transportation systems in
buildings; it will also be of interest to architects and developers, and to facilities and building
managers who may not be directly concerned with the design and installation of lifts and
escalators but need to understand the advice offered to them by specialists.
