The NZStandard focuses on the facilities in an RV and is often considered out-of-date by many. After a year long investigation involving many Government Departments, it has been concluded by Responsible Campers Association that the NZStandard was never developed to have any legal status. If it had been the intention to have legal status, the Standard would have had legal oversight during development and be currently cited in an Act or Designated legislation which it is not. To have legal status a NZStandard must have a regulatory body, usually an industry representative (ie Plumbers, Gas-fitters & Drain-layers Association) or Govt Dept, also required is a Government Minister to oversee it.
