101: Owner must comply with requirement for compliance schedule
or “You must get a special safety checklist for your building or you could be fined.”
You could also call this:

“Rules for when a building needs a special safety checklist”

You need to know about when a compliance schedule must be issued. A building consent authority must give you a compliance schedule if two things are true. First, you need a compliance schedule (or an updated one) because of building work. Second, the building consent authority believes the specified systems in your building can work as well as they should.

When the building consent authority gives you the compliance schedule, they must also give you the code compliance certificate or consent completion certificate at the same time.

If you apply for a compliance schedule under [section 102A], the territorial authority (like your local council) must give you one. They will do this if they believe the specified systems in your building can work as well as they should.
