4th June 2025 By Staff Reporter | news@propertyticker.co.nz | @propertyticker

Builders, local authorities, designers, retailers and the public are being urged to have their say on a draft document that would enable many more overseas products to be easily used in New Zealand.

The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Enterprise said the draft Building Product Specifications document released on Monday contains specifications and overseas standards that can be used to demonstrate compliance with the Building Code. 

The first version of the document contains specifications and standards for products, such as windows, plasterboard and cladding. 

Details of the draft document and how to make submissions can be accessed here and submissions close on 23 June.
