Submissions on discussion document due 10 August 2007
Notification of regulations in the New Zealand Gazette

Estimated December 2007

Regulations will come into effect 28 days after they have been notified in the New Zealand Gazette. The regulations will apply to products manufactured or imported into New Zealand after 1 July 2008.

Discussion Question Prompts

The proposed timeline will give a minimum of five months lead-in time. Will this be sufficient for manufacturers, importers and retailers to make the necessary preparations? Goods manufactured or imported before 1 July 2008 will not be required to adhere to the regulations. Is it acceptable that consumers will not be able to access water efficiency information for older products?
