Michael Webster, Clerk of the Executive Council. Explanatory note This note is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general effect. These regulations, which come into force on 1 October 2017, prescribe consumer in formation standards for showers, tap equipment, lavatory equipment, urinal equip ment, dishwashers, and clothes washing machines (the equipment) for the purposes of the Fair Trading Act 1986 (the Act). These regulations replace the Consumer Information Standards (Water Efficiency) Regulations 2010 (the 2010 regulations). The 2010 regulations prescribed consumer information standards for the equipment by reference to Australia/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 6400:2005 (with some variations). That standard has now been up dated and replaced with Australia/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 6400:2016, and these regulations prescribe consumer information standards for the equipment by ref erence to that new standard (with some variations). These regulations apply to equipment that has not been used by a person in New Zea land. These regulations require the labelling of equipment when it is supplied or physically displayed for supply. The labelling requirements depend on whether the equipment is packaged or unpackaged. Any ancillary component necessary to achieve the water ef ficiency of the equipment must be identified, along with assembly or installation in structions, when the equipment is supplied. These regulations also require that offers to supply equipment on an Internet site must contain similar information about water efficiency. A person commits an offence under the Act if he or she supplies, offers to supply, or advertises to supply the equipment to which these regulations apply, unless that per son complies with the consumer information standards set out in these regulations. As a transitional measure, during the period beginning on 1 October 2017 (when these regulations come into force) and ending on the close of 30 September 2019 (when the 2010 regulations are revoked), a person may comply with either set of regulations. 2017/212 Consumer Information Standards (Water Efficiency) Regulations 2017 Explanatory note 29 Issued under the authority of the Legislation Act 2012.
