Why NZIFDA Certification Matters
Under New Zealand law, you as the generator of contaminated fuel are responsible for ensuring it is handled by properly licensed operators. Using an uncertified or unlicensed operator can expose you to:
Legal Liability
You may be held liable for environmental violations if waste is improperly disposed of. Fines can reach up to $300,000 for companies.
Financial Risk
Fines and penalties for using unlicensed waste disposal services. You may be responsible for cleanup costs if environmental damage occurs.
Insurance Issues
Using unlicensed operators may void your insurance coverage, leaving you without protection for any resulting damage.
No Legal Recourse
You may have no legal recourse if work is performed incorrectly by uncertified operators without proper credentials.
Protect yourself: Only use operators displaying the NZIFDA Mark
