The notice in the Gazette must include some important information, such as what the notice is about, its title, and the date it was made. It will also tell you where to find the notice and related building product specifications on the Ministry's Internet site.

The chief executive must make sure each notice is available on the Ministry's Internet site. They must also make the building product specifications available on the site as soon as they are issued. If the specifications are changed or cancelled, the chief executive must still keep the original version on the site.

If the building product specifications are changed, the chief executive must put the updated version on the Ministry's Internet site, along with the changes that were made. You will be able to find all this information on the Ministry's Internet site.
