Election: National Fish and Game question the parties
Fish & Game New Zealand offered all the political parties currently in Parliament the opportunity to outline their policy positions on issues important to anglers and hunters. This year’s feature on political parties’ policies is more comprehensive than our similar articles for previous election years simply because there are far more critical issues facing New Zealand in general that directly affect your interests.

Where is NZ WELS at Right Now
It is to be put to Cabinet (August) for a decision to proceed with making regulations. (This could be law by Feb 2009).
Standards and NZ WELS
Product standards contain some class definitions and all the test procedures.
AS/NZS 6400 contains star ratings, labelling requirements, registration... and calls up product standards as needed.
Coverage, testing and rating
Product class coverage
Six product classes as in AS/NZS 6400 and for Australian WELS:
– Dishwashers;
– Clothes washing machines;
– Showers;
– Toilets;
– Urinals;
– Taps.
