Annex C: Supplier Registration Instructions
There are two parts for the supplier registration; the details of the company that will be supplying the gas appliance and then the details of the person making the declaration.
Company Details
It is important that a New Zealand entity is registered. The Gas Regulations only apply in New Zealand and the supplier declaration regime applies to the importer or New Zealand manufacturer.
Most suppliers will register as a Tier 1 supplier. The Tier 2 level is generally for suppliers who are importing or manufacturing "one-off" appliances. If you are going to be supplying more than 10 of an appliance that you are declaring you must register as a Tier 1 supplier and make your declarations on the website.
The phone; fax; website and email contact details in the Company section will appear on the public view of the declaration.
Declarer Section
The declarer or personal section is where the details of the person making the declaration are entered. These details are not available to the public but are needed by ESS to contact the company (and are required by the Gas Regulations).
It is in this section that the User ID and Password are selected. The password must be at least 8 characters long and contain both letters and numbers.
For the most part the declarer will be part of the company and have the same address and postal details but it is possible that the declarer may be located elsewhere. If that is the case then the appropriate fields should be completed.
It is important that a telephone number for the declarer is provided so that ESS can contact the supplier if there is any problem.
