Mechanical systems: technical submission requirements

What a reviewer expects in a mechanical systems technical submission on an Australian project — classified to NATSPEC worksections, not US MasterFormat.

What reviewers expect in a mechanical systems submission

  • Product technical data for every item, keyed to the specification schedule and drawings
  • Evidence of compliance with the AS/NZS standards the worksection nominates
  • WaterMark certification for plumbing & drainage products, and WELS registration for water-using products, where applicable
  • Shop drawings where the worksection calls for them
  • Samples or prototypes when the specification requires visual approval
  • Warranties and operation & maintenance information

Field tip

Confirm the exact AS/NZS standards and any WaterMark/WELS evidence the worksection nominates before you submit — a missing certificate is the most common cause of a mechanical systems submission being returned.
