Elzappr,
Over here in NZ, we are just starting with this preformance-based rubbish, the Regulations, are becoming less and less in number, while these are slowly being replaced by Standards.
I hate these new Standards, they confuse apprentices, cost far too much for what they are(NZ$20-45 each) and they can be made redundant with the stroke of a bureaucratic pen, forcing you to buy more of these things.
We are currently being aligned with the Australian Standards, as has been our Registration requirements, etc, I hate the way things are going, not because of the fact that NZ contractors will lose thier identity, but because of the extra charges, if Oz has it, we will be bound to get it!
