New Zealand Government Requirements    新西兰政府要求

The New Zealand Government issued some gazette notices on the 2nd August 2022 which imposed conditions on acceptance of EESS certificates, which were previously accepted as issued for Australia.

新西兰政府于2022年8月2日颁布了一些新的公报通知，对EESS证书引入了一些条件限制.  这些条件限制早先适用于澳大利亚.

You can find the gazette notices (only notices 2022-au3179 & 2022-au3180 apply to private certifiers) here: Gazette notices | WorkSafe. Further information on NZ medium and high risk articles can also be found through the Worksafe website.

您可以在此链接Gazette notices | WorkSafe中查看这些通知（仅2022-au3179 & 2022-au3180适用于私有证书颁发机构）. 您也可以在Worksafe网站上找到关于新西兰中高风险等级产品的进一步信息.

 Point 5 of the gazette notices 2022-au3179 & 2022-au3180 sets out that the notices apply for new certificates issued from 1 January 2023. I suggest you read the exclusion very carefully.

通知2022-au3179 & 2022-au3180中条款5指出该通知适用于2023年1月1日起颁发的新证书. 建议您仔细阅读.

 We will in the future offer a service to include New Zealand on our certificates. If the conditions below are followed at the time of application, and it is clear on the application form that New Zealand is required, there will be an extra charge of AUD 150 (plus GST if applicable) for the application. If certificates have to be modified to include New Zealand at a later date, the usual modification fees (AUD 550 plus GST) apply.

未来我司证书也将涵盖新西兰. 如果在提交申请时遵循了如下条件限制， 并且申请表上明确指出需要涵盖新西兰，那么将会额外收取150澳币（澳洲申请人需附加GST）的费用. 如果现有证书需要在未来某个时间做修改以涵盖新西兰，那么费用为常规费用550澳币（澳洲申请人需附加GST）.

The main conditions that we must achieve as a RECS/EESS certifier is to ensure the following:

作为RECS/EESS的发证机构，我们必须遵循如下主要条件：

1. The rating includes 230V and 400Vac, either as rated voltage or within the range of the rated voltage, unless the product is an accessory or a cable, where the rated voltage may be above these levels.

功率包括230V和400Vac,作为额定电压或者在额定电压范围内. 除非是附件或者线缆类产品，该类产品的额定电压可能超出此数值.

     2. All test reports must be less than 5 years old on the day we certify.

所有测试报告签发日期距离我们的审核签发日期必须小于5年.

     3.  The certificate also specifies it is for New Zealand.

证书详述了其适用于新西兰.

 There are more points in the gazettes which we must follow, but they are achievable and nothing to worry about.

公报中还有更多其他需要遵循的要求，但是都是可以实现的，您无须担心.

新西兰政府公报内容如下（以英文为准）：
