BRANZ Appraisals are independent assessments of building products, materials, systems or methods of design or construction. Products are assessed for Building Code compliance and fitness for purpose. As well as evaluation and testing, BRANZ assesses technical literature, quality control, installation, service performance and maintenance. These aspects are continually monitored by BRANZ for valid Appraisal Certificates.

BRANZ Appraisal Certificates give the certificate holder a marketing tool which facilitates faster acceptance in the marketplace by users, specifiers and approving authorities, who can be confident that the product has been subjected to in-depth examination. BRANZ Appraisal Certificates are commonly accepted by approving authorities in New Zealand, Australia and some other countries as the basis for acceptance of products for use in building and construction.
