Suspended ceilings fared poorly in recent earthquakes. In response, the relevant standard was revised, and there are stringent design and installation requirements to prevent collapse in a 1-in-500-year event.
Standards New Zealand has published a new technical specification, SNZ TS 3404:2018 Durability requirements for steel structures and components. It covers the corrosion protection of structural steelwork exposed to New Zealand atmospheric and non-atmospheric environments.
A new joint standard on road safety devices has been published.

Since NZS 1170.5:2004 Structural design actions - Part 5: Earthquake actions - New Zealand Commentary incorporating Amendment No. 1 was published in September 2016 there have been some questions raised over the interpretation of Table 8.1 Parts and Components, as applied to suspended ceilings.
A new joint standard on road safety devices has been published.
Standards New Zealand committee member, Professor Richard Fenwick, who played a key role as a Commissioner following the Canterbury earthquakes, has been recognised as a Distinguished Fellow of the Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand (IPENZ).

The amendment follows recommendations following the Canterbury and Kaikoura earthquakes.
A new Australian and New Zealand standard on the post design phase of structural steel projects has been published.
In May 2015, Standards Australia senior management was alerted to the fact that the 2014 editions within the AS/NZS 1554 suite contained material that was included without adherence to Standards Australia’s standards development processes.
SouthMACH is the South Island’s premier technology trade show for engineers, designers, consultants, communications technicians, and operations managers.
From pumping water from a well to fuel injection in your car and even manufacturing medicines, pump systems are used everywhere.
Engineering standards set the benchmarks for all engineering work and engineering related equipment in New Zealand. Standards New Zealand works closely with the Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand (IPENZ) to ensure that the documents cover all disciplines of engineering and reflect any new developments or research.
This Amendment applies to the Preface and to ISO 5149-1/Amd 1:2015.
View product pageSpecifies additional requirements to be used in conjunction with AS/NZS ISO 9606.1 for qualification testing of welders for fusion welding of steels, which are for certain unique Australian and New Zealand conditions. For all other situations, the requirements of AS/NZS ISO 9606.1 apply. Appendix A provides guidance on the application of AS/NZS ISO 9606.1 in relation to this Standard. This Standard applies to welding processes including fusion-welding processes that are designated as manual and mechanized welding. It does not cover fully automated welding processes, nor does it deal with the certification of welders.
Supersedes AS/NZS 2980:2007
Specifies the requirements for qualification testing of welders for fusion welding of steels. It provides a set of technical rules for a systematic qualification test of the welder, and enables such qualifications to be uniformly accepted independently of the type of product, location and examiner or examining body. When qualifying welders, the emphasis is placed on the welder's ability manually to manipulate the electrode, welding torch or welding blowpipe, thereby producing a weld of acceptable quality. The welding processes referred to in this standard include those fusion-welding processes which are designated as manual or partly mechanized welding. It does not cover fully mechanized and automated welding processes. Identical to and reproduced from ISO 9606-1:2012 including Technical Corrigendum 1:2012.
