Software developers self-verify whether their software meets theprotocol using the protocol’s verification procedures. Software developers are not required to register their software with the Australian Building Code Board.68 For more on the software used in Australia, please seehttp://www.dip.qld.gov.au/docs/planningdocs/corporate/publications/building_codes/newsflash/2007/NewsFlash262.pdf.82
