Mechanical Engineering: Legislation, regulations and codes

IPENZ who represent engineers in NZ have created a new Code of Ethical Conduct which came into force on 1 July 2016. This Code sets out professional engineers’ duty to the public and to each other.

Replaces the "Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992".

These work alongside "New Zealand Legislation (1995) Health and Safety in Employment Regulations 1995".
