This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.

133: Chief executive must comply with prescribed requirements and be satisfied that standards are consistent with any prescribed limits or restrictions

You could also call this:

“Chief executive must follow rules and check standards fit within limits”

The new law suggests that before making a standard, the person in charge (called the chief executive) must do two things. First, they need to follow any rules that are set out in the regulations. These rules are mentioned in another part of the law called section 126(1)(f). Second, they need to make sure that the standards they’re creating don’t go against any limits or restrictions that are also set out in the regulations. These limits are mentioned in section 126(1)(g) of the law. This is to make sure that the standards are made properly and don’t break any rules.
