National Classification System

NATSPEC maintains the National Classification System to assist specification writers organise the content of specifications, and their users to find the information they are looking for. The system structures information in a logical and consistent way to introduce predictability from project to project. Even if you or your consultants do not want to use NATSPEC, using the National Classification System will still be beneficial to your project.

NATSPEC freely provides a number of documents and tools to assist your understanding and application of the system.
