Prescribed Requirements Relating to the Completion of Competence Programmes in Respect of Persons Applying for Practising Licences or Applying for Renewals of Practising Licences

The Electrical Workers Registration Board (“the Board”) has the responsibility for the registration and licensing of electrical workers in New Zealand.

Following the introduction of the Electricity (Safety) Regulations 2010, the Board published a notice setting out transitional requirements relating to the completion of Competence Programmes in respect of persons applying for practising licences or applying for renewals of practising licences in accordance with section 85(1)(d) of the Electricity Act 1992 (“the Act”) (New Zealand Gazette, 10 June 2010, No. 64, page 1846). The operation of those transitional requirements was subsequently extended until 1 November 2011 (New Zealand Gazette, 26 May 2011, No. 71, page 1688).

More recently, the Board published a notice (New Zealand Gazette, 1 December 2011, No. 186, page 5399) (“the Notice”):

  1. prescribing the new requirements relating to the completion of Competence Programmes in respect of persons applying for practising licences and persons applying for renewals of practising licences that will apply after 31 January 2012; and
  2. extending the transitional requirements until that time.

It has subsequently come to the attention of the Board that the requirements set out in that Notice were ambiguous in some respects. Accordingly, the Board hereby gives notice that:

  1. the Notice is revoked effective 2 April 2015;
  2. the requirements relating to the completion of Competence Programmes in respect of persons applying for practising licences or applying for renewals of practising licences that come into force after 2 April 2015 are to be those set out in the Schedules below.

Dated at Wellington this 26th day of March 2015.

N. J. J. SICKELS, Registrar.
