We recently issued infringement notices to the following:
- A gasfitter who issued a gasfitting certificate of compliance (CoC) indicating that the work performed complies with AS/NZS 5601.1 when the work did not in fact comply.
Gasfitters and electrical workers have to ensure that the gasfitting or prescribed electrical work they do complies with the relevant provisions of the Gas (Safety and Measurement) Regulations 2010 or the Electricity (Safety) Regulations 2010. Each of these regulations cites an installation standard that contains a means of compliance that installation should comply with. Gasfitters and electrical workers who undertake installation work need to ensure they understand and follow the means of compliance for the work undertaken.
- Two suppliers (retailers) of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) who failed to supply us with a Supplier Declaration of Compliance (SDoC) or test report for the EVSE that they are supplying.
Certain items of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) were declared medium risk articles in October 2016. The Gazzette notices on electric vehicles and electric vehicle adaptors are avaliable on our website.
Suppliers of EVSE are required to ensure that the items they are selling have been tested and confirmed to comply with a relevant standard. The New Zealand manufacturer or importer must complete an SDoC based on this testing. Retailers and suppliers must be able to supply an SDoC to a purchaser, potential purchaser or us within 10 working days of a request for the SDoC. Retailers and suppliers must also be able to supply a test report and test certificate to us within 10 working days of a request for the test report.
You can find out more about the requirements that apply to medium risk declared articles on our website.
