Why Compliance Documentation Matters
Termite management systems frequently form part of the compliance and handover requirements for commercial construction projects. Vale Pest Group provides the documentation, certification and project records builders, developers, architects and project teams need — from installation through to final handover.
Most termite management measures are installed during construction and become permanently concealed as the build progresses. Once slabs are poured, framing goes up and finishes are applied, there’s no way to visually confirm what termite protection was incorporated into the structure. Compliance documentation fills that gap — creating a permanent record of what was installed, where and when, and giving builders and developers a clear basis for demonstrating that measures were implemented in accordance with the project specification and AS 3660.1-2014.
These records don’t just serve the immediate project. They carry forward as useful reference for future building owners, facility managers and maintenance personnel who need to understand the termite management system built into the structure.
Vale’s compliance procedures are straightforward and designed to support your project administration without adding friction to the construction programme.
Our Compliance Process
Scope Review
Project drawings, specifications and termite management requirements are reviewed prior to installation works commencing.
Installation Records
Installation activities are documented throughout construction to create an accurate project record of the termite management measures installed.
Compliance Assessment
Completed works are reviewed against the approved scope and project requirements prior to certification.
Certificate Preparation
Compliance certificates and supporting documentation are prepared following completion of the installation works.
Project Handover
Compliance documentation is issued together with supporting project records and final invoicing to provide an efficient project handover process.
Compliance Framework
The National Construction Code (NCC) requires new buildings to incorporate termite management systems as part of the building process. Compliance is achieved through the installation of physical termite barrier systems in accordance with Australian Standard AS 3660.1-2014.
Compliance documentation is a critical requirement for project handover — without it, practical completion cannot be achieved and occupation certificates may be delayed.
Project specific requirements should always be reviewed against the applicable building documentation, project specifications and relevant regulatory requirements.

Why is termite compliance documentation important?
Compliance documentation provides a permanent record of the termite management measures installed during construction and assists with project administration, certification and handover requirements.
When is a compliance certificate issued?
Compliance certificates are generally prepared following completion of the termite management installation works and final compliance review.
What information is included in a compliance certificate?
Compliance certificates typically record details relating to the installed termite management measures together with relevant project information.
Do you provide supporting documentation with the certificate?
Yes. Supporting documentation may include installation records, marked plans, technical documentation, CodeMark certification documents and warranty information where applicable.
What standards apply to termite management?
Termite management requirements for new construction are generally addressed through the National Construction Code (NCC) and relevant Australian Standards, including AS 3660.1.
What is a Certificate of Compliance?
A Certificate of Compliance confirms that the termite management system has been installed in accordance with applicable Australian Standards, National Construction Code requirements and manufacturer specifications.
The certificate records the termite management system installed, the installation method used and the extent of the installation. Vale Pest Group also provides marked plans identifying the specific locations of termite management measures installed throughout the building.
What documentation is provided following installation?
Depending on the project requirements, Vale Pest Group may provide a Certificate of Compliance, Form 12 documentation, Form 43 documentation, warranty information and marked installation plans as part of the project handover process.
Do you provide Form 12 and Form 43 documentation?
Yes. For Queensland projects, Vale Pest Group can provide Form 12 documentation for commercial projects and Form 43 documentation for residential projects, where required as part of the certification and handover process.
Do termite management systems require ongoing inspections?
Yes. Regular termite inspections remain an important part of protecting a property. Ongoing inspections assist in detecting termite activity and identifying conditions that may increase the risk of infestation, regardless of the termite management system installed.
Can Vale Pest Group assist builders, consultants and certifiers?
Yes. Vale Pest Group regularly works alongside builders, developers, project managers, consultants and certifiers to provide termite management installations, supporting documentation and compliance assistance across commercial construction projects, and residential projects through the builder.
What is the termite notice in the meter box?
It is the durable notice the National Construction Code requires. It records the termite management system used, the date it was installed, the life expectancy of any chemical and how often the building should be inspected. We supply and fix it on every installation.

The durable notice
Wherever a termite management system is installed, the National Construction Code requires a durable notice permanently fixed in a prominent place, such as the meter box. It records:
- The termite management system used
- The date of installation
- The life expectancy of any chemical, as listed on the pesticides register label
- The installer’s or manufacturer’s recommended scope and frequency of future inspections
We supply and fix the durable notice as part of every installation.
