Technical or compliance enquiries
Standards New Zealand is not a regulator, nor are we subject matter experts in the content of all of our standards. Standards are developed through a consensus and representative process utilising industry and Government subject matter and technical experts.
We do not enforce or ensure compliance with standards. Where standards are cited/referenced in legislation of regulation as a means of compliance under a particular regulatory system, the relevant Government regulator for that sector may have an enforcement or compliance role.
We are not able to respond to technical queries about the content of a standard. This is outside our legislated purpose, responsibility, and area of expertise. We are also unable to comment on the application or interpretation of standards, as this is handled by technical industry experts.
