Water efficiency labelling – advisory group update

Standards New Zealand held a meeting of representatives from organisations interested in water efficiency labelling, on 10 March 2009. The meeting supported the idea of establishing an advisory group as a focal point for coordinating information to and from Standards committee WS-032.

WS-032 is a joint Australian/New Zealand Standards committee responsible for amendments to joint Standard AS/NZS 6400:2005, Water efficient products – Rating and labelling. AS/NZS 6400 covers the rating and labelling of water efficient products, such as taps, showers, and other water-using appliances.

The Ministry for the Environment has commissioned Standards New Zealand to set up and facilitate the advisory group. The aim of the advisory group is to coordinate and strengthen New Zealand's input into any amendments to the joint Standard.

The Government plans to introduce new water efficiency labelling regulations in July 2009.
