DairyNZ’s Procedures for Complying With Regulation 25

Publication pursuant to Regulation 26(1)(b) of the Dairy Industry (Herd Testing and New Zealand Dairy Core
Database) Amendment Regulations 2014 – Procedures for complying with Regulation 25.

All DairyNZ staff will maintain strict confidentiality in respect of any information by not disclosing information or

Pricing Methodology for Access to Core Data

Publication pursuant to Regulation 26(1)(c) of the Dairy Industry (Herd Testing and New Zealand Dairy Core
Database) Amendment Regulations 2014 – Pricing methodology or methodologies used to set charges for access
to data in the core database (including charges that the manager makes to businesses it owns for access to that
data), and the prices resulting from applying these methodologies.

Introduction

The Regulations place an obligation on DairyNZ to provide access to core data, however DairyNZ determines the
price of access to that data.

The Regulations also provide that DairyNZ must in each year publish its pricing methodology which is used to
calculate prices for the provision of extracts of core data. That methodology is set out in this section.

General Principles

The access price for core data has been derived from the costs associated with supplying data including
application administration and programming functions, capital and depreciation costs and expenses.

An activity-based costing system has been applied to these items.

There are no charges for the input of data. However, the activity of cleansing and validating input data forms part
of the processes involved in the provision of data.

The costs associated with these activities are attributed to the provision of core data.

Processing Applications

An application fee is payable to The Panel and is prescribed under the Regulations as being $200.00 (including
GST). It partially covers the cost of receiving an application, the panel convening to review applications and the
administration to notify the outcome of their consideration of each application.

An administration fee is charged by DairyNZ to partially cover the costs of processing applications. The fee
includes a proportion of the following costs:
