Standards and guidelines

We regularly consult with the sector and update documents within our Standards and Guidelines Catalogue. Information on current consultations and new, recently updated and archived documents is shared in our regular Technical Advice Note Standards and Guidelines Update newsletter.

NZTA’s Standards and Guidelines Catalogue encompasses a wide range of operational policy, guidelines and specifications. Read more about the framework, definitions and hierarchy of the different types of standards, the relationship of our standards to wider directional policy and strategies, and how to use the catalogue.

NZTA publishes an annual forward work programme providing visibility of standards and guidelines we are currently working on, or plan to begin working on, in the next year. This includes standards being developed, reviewed, revised, consulted on and archived.

All standards with the catalogue are expected to be initiated, developed, reviewed and archived in accordance with the processes detailed in this section.
