Consultation (106513 & 106514) – New Joint Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand projects

The following joint standards development projects were recently approved by Standards Australia and may be of interest to your organisation.

Standards Australia have invited Standards New Zealand to participate in projects relating to standards which are currently joint and where it is perceived that New Zealand may have an interest in participating in a project.

View proposal document here.

Standards Australia seek, and strongly value, your input on:

  • Whether you feel it is important that New Zealand participates in the projects listed below to produce a AS/NZS joint standard and why?
    • What would the impact be to New Zealand end-users if these publications were to be de-jointed?
    • Are there relevant international standards which would meet New Zealand’s needs?
  • Whether your organisation, or organisations you are aware of, may be interested in funding New Zealand’s participation in these 2 projects?
    • The fee listed constitute the anticipated additional administrative costs incurred by Standards Australia for New Zealand’s participation in the project. These costs are calculated based on the project type and complexity.
    • Standards New Zealand does not receive direct government funding and as such operates on a cost recovery basis. As a result Standards New Zealand needs to recover any project fees for New Zealand’s participation in an Australian-secretariat joint standard from a third party, either a regulator and/or industry which uses the joint standard, and/or through other means such as the sales price of the resulting standard if this is feasible.

Any feedback that you, or your organisation or any of your related contacts, could provide on the importance of the projects, and thoughts on prospective commissioners, are greatly valued.
