(b) Deletes definitions which are not appropriate to the bylaw;
(c) Provides for the redefinition of Standards from documents
incorporated in the bylaw by reference, by means of
compliance. This is done to simplify the publication of
MP 101 and reduce the extent of documents incorporated
by reference in the bylaw;
(d) To include a standard clause in the bylaw, commonly included
in means of compliance Standards, providing for reference
to named Standards to be taken as including amendments
to those Standards.

Metrication proposal for comment

It is proposed to metricate the following Chapters of NZS 1900
Model building bylaw by converting all imperial units referred to in the Chapters (clauses and tables) to metric equivalents by using the “suggested rounded values” listed in the appropriate metric handbook shown.

Comment is not being sought on the technical merit or
appropriateness of the imperial values to be converted, but solely
on whether the “rounded metric values” are technically acceptable
equivalents.

If this proposal is accepted, amendments will be issued to each
of the Chapters listed and the metric terms will be incorporated
into all future reprints of these Chapters.

Comments on this metrication proposal should be sent, in writing,
to: Mr G. K. Baker, Technical Adviser, at SANZ.

All persons who may be affected by these amendments and who
desire to comment thereon may obtain copies from the Standards
Association of New Zealand, Wellington Trade Centre, 15-23
Sturdee Street (or Private Bag), Wellington.

The closing date for receipt of comment is 31 October 1983.

Dated at Wellington this 30th day of September 1983.

DENYS R. M. PINFOLD,
Director, Standards Association of New Zealand.
