Christmas decoration business breaches Electricity Regulations
Published: 14.04.2009
A specialist Christmas decoration business was convicted in the Manukau District Court on 24 March 2009, for breaching the Electricity Regulations.
It had been selling Christmas lights without first making sure they complied with the regulations.
The business, which had opened a shop in the Botany Town Centre before Christmas last year, pleaded guilty to supplying the lights without gaining the necessary approval.
Under the Electricity Regulations, suppliers must ensure that these types of lights are approved before supply. A recognised approval shows that an appliance meets New Zealand’s electrical safety requirements, and that is has been adequately tested for electrical safety.
