On 15 April 2021, the Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources released a Regulation Impact Statement canvassing widespread reforms to Australia’s measurement framework for consultation.
The RIS sets out a range of issues with the current measurement framework and explores options to provide a pathway to a more effective and future-focused approach to regulating measurement within trade.
The RIS is seeking feedback from interested stakeholders and is accepting submissions until 14 May 2021. More information on the consultation process, including how to make a submission, can be found here.
The RIS has been certified by the department and was subject to an early assessment by the OBPR.
