Producer statements are typically used for specialist work, such as engineering, or where there is a proprietary product which is installed by appointed contractors. In considering whether to accept a producer statement, a council will normally assess the credentials of the author to ensure that person has the appropriate experience and competence in their particular field of expertise. They are used as one source of information which the council may rely upon to determine whether there are reasonable grounds to conclude that building work complies with the Building Code. While producer statements are well-established and widely used, they have no particular status under the Building Act 2004. The producer statement system is intended to provide Building Consent Authorities (BCAs) with reasonable grounds for the issue of a Building Consent or a Code Compliance Certificate, without having to duplicate design or construction checking undertaken by others. It is not a product warranty or guarantee of compliance. A producer statement is a professional opinion based on sound judgment and specialist expertise.
