Are your windows and doors AS2047 compliant?
Under the National Construction Code of Australia, window manufacturers are required to produce windows and doors that meet mandatory minimum specifications under Australian Standard (AS) 2047.
The WADIC Advantage
In 2000 a group of 50 small to medium joinery businesses joined together forming WADIC and secured a seat on AS2047 making representation on behalf of timber joinery businesses. Due to the WADIC participation on this Standard, generic windows were included in Appendix H of the Standard and gave way for WADIC to support manufacturing members with a range of tested WADIC windows and doors.
The WADIC Compliance Manual has documented test results from testing carried out by members and by WADIC itself in order to assist Licensed WADIC members to be to be cost effectively compliant without the need to undertake their own testing, saving thousands of dollars for small to medium joineries.
Unless you have carried out the appropriate testing according to AS2047 yourself or you belong to WADIC as a licensed member and follow the manual it is very difficult and costly to claim compliance.

WADIC & TABMA Apprenticeships
WADIC and TABMA have long enjoyed a mutually beneficial arrangement whereby TABMA as a GTO (Group Training Organisation) employs trainees/apprentices and contracts and places them with a suitable host employer. The manufacturer becomes the host employer with TABMA invoicing the host on a weekly basis.
TABMA takes on all the employer responsibilities of the trainee/apprentices employment and training. TABMA advertises, interviews and screens prospective apprentices to fit the need of a manufacturers business or working requirements. If the arrangement with the apprentice does not work out TABMA will then arrange alternate placement for that apprentice/trainee.
