262: Requirements for product certification accreditation body

You could also call this:

"Rules for checking building product certifiers"

The chief executive must say how often a product certification accreditation body must check accredited product certification bodies. They must also say what other things the body must do. The chief executive can say which certifications of building products or building methods from outside New Zealand are okay to use in New Zealand. This only happens if the chief executive is satisfied that the building products or building methods meet the required criteria and standards for certification. A notice about this is secondary legislation, which means it has to be published in a certain way, as explained in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
