What does CodeMark Certification mean for specifiers?
CodeMark is a third-party building-product certification scheme administered by the Australian Building Codes Board. The BCA gives National CodeMark Certification to products that have proven deemed-to-satisfy compliance — meaning they automatically meet key performance standards in waterproofing, fire safety, and other areas without the need for extra engineering sign-offs or compliance reports.
In other words — for a product certified under CodeMark, you have a recognised path to show it meets the performance requirements of the National Construction Code, and it’s ready-to-use in your project without additional scrunity.
This certification isn’t just a badge; it’s a legally recognised benchmark for product quality and performance.
X-Bond Microcement is CodeMark certified for automatic compliance in internal & external wet areas requiring waterproof finishes.
What does a Certified product need to have?
X-Bond’s performance claims are not just marketing — now, they’re independently verified by Bureau Veritas and tested by accredited laboratories (XTecGen and AWTA). From wet area performance to fire safety, every metric has been proven to meet or exceed Australian standards:
| Category | X-Bond Microcement |
|---|---|
| Certification | CodeMark (BCA-recognised) |
| Fire Rating | Group 1 (AS 5637.1) |
| Waterproofing | AS 4654.1 & AS/NZS 4858 – Class III |
| Installer Control | Trained & certified |
| Commercial Acceptance | Automatically compliant |
| Brand Credibility | Certified by Bureau Veritas |
To maintain its certified status, X-Bond is exclusively installed by trained Seamless Overlays applicators. This ensures every installation meets the technical requirements of its certification — which relies on the complete system of multiple installation products.
With this level of validation, X-Bond eliminates the uncertainty often associated with decorative coatings. Specifiers, certifiers, designers and builders can use the Certificate to support compliance.
When is this most useful?
X-Bond takes the guesswork out of compliance. Its CodeMark Certification ensures that your project satisfies the BCA’s strict standards for safety, performance, and waterproofing — automatically.
That means:
No need for additional engineering or compliance reports
No risk of certifier rejections
No delays in approval or construction
Just proven performance and peace of mind from start to finish.
While CodeMark is beneficial broadly, specific contexts where this is especially relevant for large commercial builds and public works, or projects requiring streamlined approval — a certified product can support faster consent or inspection pathways, and reduce the “unknowns”.
Why CodeMark matters?
Because X-Bond holds full National CodeMark Certification, it means that it’s gone through a defined scheme where its performance has been evaluated for compliance with the NCC/BCA.
For architects, builders and specifiers: this means less risk around “will this product be accepted by the certifier/local authority?” because the certification path is nationally recognised.
For homeowners: although you may not deal directly with certification, it means the product invests in real independent testing and compliance — providing peace of mind.
CodeMark certification is a strong differentiator among all the different microcements on the market — X-Bond is one of the only products to have this certification.
In today’s construction environment, compliance and documentation can make or break a project. Simply put, X-Bond is a microcement you can specify, build, and live with confidently. It’s certified performance meets seamless design.
