2012 Standards and Conformance Infrastructure Review

14 Aug 2012

The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) is undertaking a review of New Zealand's standards and conformance infrastructure. This review has a specific focus on the standards system in New Zealand.

The purpose of the review is to develop proposals for a viable and well-functioning standards system that meets the needs of businesses, regulators and consumers into the foreseeable future.

To help the analysis of issues, MBIE is interested in understanding the value that a range of users - including businesses, regulators and consumers - derive from the standards system in New Zealand.

To understand more about this value, MBIE would like input from stakeholders on:

  • How national standards are being used by you and/or your sector
  • What you find most valuable about the national standards development process
  • The extent to which you use international and/or trans-Tasman standards, and the extent to which specific New Zealand standards are needed
  • Any issues you face in using national standards or the standards development process
