Exceptions to the Regulations

Within this section…

It is proposed that the following categories will be exempt from the requirements of water efficiency labelling:

  • Products destined for export or in transit (this exemption will apply to products to be exported to any country, however, any water efficiency requirements in the importing country would still need to be complied with).
  • Privately sold second-hand items or items for second-hand retail sale or hire or lease where the appliance or fixture was manufactured or imported into New Zealand after 1 July 2008 and is more than 5 years old.
  • Where only 50 or fewer products are ever imported into New Zealand or manufactured for sale in New Zealand.

Discussion Question Prompt

Are there any other situations where you consider exemptions to the regulations are needed?
