For 90 years Standards New Zealand has managed the development of New Zealand standards, coordinated New Zealand's representation on joint Australian/NZ standards and the adoption of and contribution towards international standards for ISO and IEC. Our online library provides access to tens of thousands of standards to support all sectors across New Zealand.
Standards provide businesses and regulators with consensus-agreed good practice, promote interoperability and ensure safety and reliability in services and products. They are a trusted tool to meet compliance and the backbone of good policy.
Whether you use standards, use products and services created to standard, or help create standards - standards benefit everyone.
Standards New Zealand is a business unit within the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE).
