National Office - Guide to international environmental standards

Standards New Zealand provides access to the AS/NZS ISO 14000 series covering environmental management, and management systems including the increasingly important environmental labelling standards.

Standards NZ also offers support in the following areas to help exporters tackle challenging overseas markets:
• Technical barriers to trade (TBT) service – Standards New Zealand monitors possible regulatory changes in your export markets, helping raise awareness of changes in the technical regulation environment so you can be better prepared. It manages this free service on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. Phone or email Standards New Zealand.
• Standards for international markets – Standards New Zealand can supply standards from most overseas Standard bodies.
Environmental management and labelling Standards provide credibility for exporters.
