Government Web Standards
Exemptions
If a government agency has valid reasons for not complying with the New Zealand Web Standards and Recommendations, they must complete a Web Standards exemption request. The Chief Executive or the equivalent second in charge must sign the exemption application. Exemptions are issued on a temporary basis only and agencies need to provide a plan of tasks and timelines to achieve compliance as part of their exemption request.
The Web Standards Team will present the application for exemption to the e-GIF Management Committee, which will confirm the approval or non- approval. Please contact mailto:web.standards@ssc.govt.nz if you are considering lodging an exemption request.
