10 Reasons to be a member of the Composites Association of NZ (Inc)

It helps one keep up with technology and other changes, and with our links to overseas composites association provides links worldwide. An association "Code of Ethics" protects members.

2. Legislation Assistance

Changes to legislation can have serious effects on your work. The composites Association keeps abreast of changes and issues guidelines to members and holds discussions with government officials such as OSH and ERMA on your behalf.

3. Own Code Of Practice

Our very own “Composites Code of Practice” was published in 1998 and is the accepted “Code” for our industry. All members were able to provide input into its development to ensure it was workable. Compliance with the “Code” is the best way of meeting NZ health and safety requirements.
