Dear Spencer 
  
I refer to your Official Information Act request received on 9 November 2025: 
 
Official Information Act Request – Advanced Electricity Meters (Smart Meters): Safety Incidents, 
Test Standards & Record-Keeping (2015–2022) - a Official Information Act request to WorkSafe 
New Zealand - FYI 
 
Under section 15A of the Official Information Act, WorkSafe has decided to extend the time limit for 
deciding on your request by an additional 15 working days. This extension will also apply to the time 
limit for transferring your request, should this become relevant. 
  
The extension is required because consultations are necessary before a decision can be made on 
your request.   
 
You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate and review this decision, and further 
information is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz.  
  
If you require further assistance, please contact [email address].  
  
Yours sincerely  
 
 
    
Rob Pope 
Head of Inspectorate
