4076 (2026). Arena Williams to the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs: Has MBIE undertaken any market surveillance testing of corded window coverings sold in New Zealand to assess compliance with voluntary guidance; if so, what were the results?

Hon Scott Simpson: MBIE has engaged with industry and soft furnishing retailers in the past for insights into the voluntary guidance, but no formal surveillance testing has taken place.
