The Measurement and Product Safety Service Newsletter For Accredited Persons (APs)

The publication measureUP has been launched to improve communication and give APs the opportunity to interact with the Ministry over issues they feel appropriate.

The Ministry intends to use this publication to keep APs and stakeholders informed of the latest issues within Legal Metrology as well as providing clarification and information on more technical matters.

measureUP - March 2008 newsletter

In this edition of measureUP we highlight MAPSS responsibility monitoring the quality of the New Zealand retail fuel supply and discuss issues surrounding ‘Hot Fuel’. We also clarify requirements for verification, Certificates of Accuracy and Notices of Non Compliance. Further information is also given on the training requirements for applicants seeking accreditation status.

measureUP - May 2007 newsletter

In this edition of measureUP we look at how the first OIML Approval Certificate under the OIML Mutual Acceptance Arrangement for Non-automatic Weighing Instruments has been issued, how MAPSS staff have been helping out our counterparts in Cambodia and Laos and a possible solution to the problem of ink-fade on Certificates of Accuracy.

measureUP - November 2006 newsletter

In this edition of measureUP we look at the introduction of a three year renewal period for letters of accreditation for APs, the review of the Australian National Trade Measurement system and legislation, and Pattern Approval for Weighing and Measuring Equipment.

measureUP - March 2006 newsletter

There have been many changes to the Measurement and Product Safety Service (MAPSS) and legal metrology in recent times. Changes, such as those to the accreditation scheme since the commencement of the Weights and Measures Amendment Act 2005, makes the need for communication between the Ministry, Accredited Persons (APs) and stakeholders important.

or if you require a printed copy of the latest newsletter, single copies can be ordered from our Publications section.

Remember, if you plan to use an article or information from articles more than three months old, please contact us to verify the currency and accuracy of the information. We want you to be certain the information you use is not out of date.
