GENERAL<br />
Demonstrate that no Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) are used within the<br />
development and that all ACMs have been removed from refurbished buildings.<br />
This Credit Requirement builds on Cabinet Resolution No. 39 of 2006 Concerning<br />
Prohibiting Import, Production and Utilization of Asbestos Boards and extends the<br />
prohibition to all ACMs.<br />
Demonstrate that where timber is specified to treat external structures where there is<br />
frequent and intimate contact, such as –but not limited to- shading devices,<br />
playground equipment and handrails that no chromated copper arsenate (CCA)-treated<br />
timber is used on the project.<br />
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENT/CLARIFICATIONS<br />
None<br />
This is a requirement. There are no Credit Points awarded.<br />
