NZEA's role in the New Zealand Funeral Profession NZEA is committed to providing the most up to date technology the world has to offer in mortuary services, so that members can take these skills back to their provinces and offer them to the bereaved families they serve.   The Association is continuing to pressure Government for the recognition that the profession of embalming should be practiced only, by suitably qualified persons. The completion of a joint Industry code of practice between the New Zealand Embalmers Association and the Funeral Directors Association of New Zealand, is a documentation of the high standards that the public of New Zealand must expect, when engaging the services of one of its members.

Alternative labelling provisions for group standards amended

The Environmental Risk Management Authority has decided to amend the alternative labelling provisions for substances regulated under the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms (HSNO) Act group standards.

The amendment removes the expiry date for the provision which allows the labelling requirements of countries such as Australia, the United States, Canada and the European Union to be used as alternatives to those required under the HSNO group standards.

In making its decision, the Authority noted the labelling requirements of such countries were as protective of human health and the environment as those required under HSNO.

Requiring manufacturers to re-label products in order to comply with HSNO would create unnecessary costs, the Authority said.

The alternative labelling provisions can continue to be used by both New Zealand-based and overseas manufacturers.
