The National Building Code of Finland
The National Building Code contains technical regulations and instructions, which are given by decree.
The regulations are binding, and concern the construction of new buildings. The regulations are applicable to renovation and alteration works only insofar as the type and extent of the measure and a possible change in use of the building require. The instructions are not binding but present acceptable solutions.
