The AdventureMark office will be closed on 22 December until 10 January. Please contact Mike mike@adventuremark.co.nz before that time if you have any conditions that need to be addressed during this period so that we can ensure smooth, ongoing certification.

This year has been another challenging year for the outdoor industry. We want to acknowledge the strength and spirit of the adventure sector. There have been some long phone calls and lots of emails trying to make sense of compliance rules while stuck in lockdown and unable to operate. Thank you to those of you who contributed with submissions on the proposed changes to the Adventure Activities regime. Hopefully we can continue to work in system that is driven by the operators it oversees.

Please remember to check your conditions of certification. Reports may contain open nonconformities and if these are not closed out on time, we may need to require additional audit work to ensure ongoing compliance, which is an unnecessary cost. There is also a requirement to inform your certification body of any notifiable events or if you have any changes to key staff.

From everyone at AdventureMark, we wish you all a peaceful, merry Christmas and an active and prosperous New Year.
