Building products information requirements

New Zealand-based manufacturers and importers:

• You must provide a minimum level of information about certain building products you supply to the New Zealand market, including how the product will perform.

• You must provide the information free if it is online.

New Zealand-based wholesalers, distributors, and retailers:

• You will need to check that certain building products you supply include product information.

• You will be required to have the building product information available to customers when certain building products are for sale.

• You are not expected to constantly review the information disclosed by a manufacturer or importer. We recommend that you communicate with product manufacturers about any changes that impact the information you have available about the building product.
