NBC 2016:2016 Part 5 is the Indian Standard (BIS) for national building code of india 2016 - building materials. Part 5 is the materials catalogue of NBC 2016. For every commonly used building material it identifies the reference IS specification, the permissible grades, acceptance tests, and storage requirements. It does not re-derive the specifications — it points to them and tabulates the properties a designer or site engineer typically needs at a glance. Coverage spans masonry (bricks, stone, blocks), binders (cement, lime, gypsum), concrete and its constituents, structural and reinforcing steel, timber and bamboo, paints and varnishes, glass, insulation, and miscellaneous finishes. For any material not covered in adequate depth, Part 5 points to the parent IS code for the full specification.

Guides the selection, testing, and acceptance of building materials - cement, aggregates, concrete, steel, timber, bricks, paints, glass, insulation, and finishes - with cross-references to the relevant IS specifications and test methods.
