Voluntary Declaration Website

Within this section…

The Ministry of Consumer Affairs suggests it would be useful for consumers to have a website where they could compare the water efficiency of different appliances and fixtures. It is proposed that the Ministry for the Environment would run this website and manufacturers and importers could get their products listed for free. It would be voluntary for manufacturers and importers to participate. After testing, manufacturers and importers would forward a certified copy of their testing certificate to the Ministry for the Environment along with a completed form about the type and features of the item. The Ministry for the Environment would conduct regular audits of the information on the website to ensure the information was correct and the item was still for sale.

Discussion Question Prompts

Do you think the voluntary declaration website is a good idea? What information would you like to see the website contain?
