What is Certified Self-Containment?

A certified self-contained vehicle is designed to fulfill the ablutionary and sanitary requirements

If you own a motor caravan or caravan in New Zealand, it's important to maintain and certify it according to the New Zealand Standard for Self-Containment of Motor Caravans and Caravans, NZS 5465:2001. This certification helps protect the environment and public health by ensuring proper waste disposal. 


SELF-CONTAINMENT NZ strongly encourages all types of recreational vehicles, including 5th Wheelers, caravans, campervans, motorhomes, RVs, and buses, to get certified in accordance with NZS 5465.
