112ZG: Incorporation of standards by reference in regulations

You could also call this:

"Using safety rules from other places in our laws"

When rules are made under section 112ZF(1)(g) of the Health Act, they can include standards from the National Cervical Screening Programme. You can think of standards like a set of rules that help keep people safe. These standards can be from New Zealand or other places. The rules can use all or part of these standards, and they can also make some changes to them. When these standards are included in the rules, they become a part of the law, just like the rest of the rules, and you can find more information about how these rules were made by looking at section 112ZF(1)(g).
