Wire Balustrade Tension Gauge Tool

Wire balustrade regulations are laid out in the National Construction Code (NCC). This is provided by the ABCB and is updated/ released in May every year. Wire balustrade regulations have remained largely unchanged since 2005 You can now download PDF copies direct from the ABCB website free of charge.
