192: Regulations relating to evacuation schemes for relevant building

You could also call this:

"Rules for Evacuation Plans in Certain Buildings"

Illustration for Fire and Emergency New Zealand Act 2017

The Governor-General can make rules about evacuation schemes for certain buildings. You need to know what these rules cover, such as how much hazardous substances can be stored in a building. The rules also cover what needs to be in an evacuation scheme and how it gets approved. The Governor-General's rules can also say what standards automatic sprinkler systems must meet. You can find out what a relevant building is by looking at section 75. The rules made under this section are secondary legislation, which has its own publication requirements, as outlined in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019. The Governor-General makes these rules on the recommendation of the Minister. These rules help keep you safe in case of a fire or emergency. They are an important part of the Fire and Emergency New Zealand Act 2017.
