24E: Meaning of craft risk management standard

You could also call this:

"Rules to manage risks when boats or other craft enter New Zealand"

When you hear about a craft risk management standard, it means a set of rules to manage risks associated with craft entering New Zealand territory or arriving in the Exclusive Economic Zone. These risks are the ones that are not already covered by other standards. You need to know that a craft risk management standard applies to specific types of craft and may apply to specific activities. It must say what risks it applies to, such as the risks specified in the standard, all risks except those managed under another law, or all risks.

A craft risk management standard can specify requirements for craft entering New Zealand territory, arriving in New Zealand, or arriving in the Exclusive Economic Zone. It can also specify requirements for craft while they remain in New Zealand territory. You will see that these standards can specify requirements in different ways, including measures to be applied, evidence to be provided, or the outcome to be achieved.

A craft risk management standard may require you to provide information to the Director-General, and it will say when and how you must provide this information. The standard will help manage risks associated with craft, and it is part of the Biosecurity Act 1993, which you can find on the New Zealand legislation website.
