if the RCB does not comply with the fire safety standard (RCB), the way the RCB does not comply, including the provisions of the fire safety standard (RCB) with which the RCB does not comply.

If the RCB does not comply with the fire safety standard (RCB) in relation to sprinklers, the report must also include a statement of—

the parts of the RCB for which requirements under the fire safety standard (RCB) about sprinklers are not met; and

the area of each of those parts, expressed in square metres.

For subsection (2)(a), a part of the RCB may be described by reference to the plan of the RCB given to the assessor by the owner of the RCB under section 231AH(2)(a).

Also, the RCB assessment report must include the following—

The RCB assessment report must be, or include, an information notice about the RCB assessor’s decision.

If the RCB assessor decides the RCB complies with the fire safety standard (RCB), the RCB assessor must issue a certificate in the approved form (a fire safety (RCB) compliance certificate) for the RCB.
