Building Product Information Requirements

On 11 December 2023, new building product information requirements (BPIR) will commence in New Zealand.

Webinars

EBOSS and MBIE ran x3 free online workshops to help building product suppliers develop their own documents to meet the new BPIR. The objective of this practical programme was to assist in the understanding of what was required under the new regulations, and introduce a software tool - BPIR Ready - to aid in the creation of these disclosure documents.

Facilitated by EBOSS, each session included presentations by MBIE and John Gardiner (ex. MBIE Determinations and Assurance Manager).
