Ngā tātaitai hiko
He kore utu ia tātaitai, ka rere i tāu kaitirotiro, ā, kāore e hiahia he kaute. Ka whakaatu ia otinga i āna hātepe me te Clause, me te Table rānei i whakamahia e ia, mō Aotearoa me Ahitereiria. Ko te nuinga o ngā mahi ka tīmata ki te Tātaitai rahi taura, e rahi ana i te taura ki AS/NZS 3008, ā, ka arotakehia ki AS/NZS 3000.
