Green Warrant - Compliant Toilet system for small vans
The New Zealand standard for self-contained vehicles requires a fixed toilet. Traditional porta-loos are no longer permissible for freedom camping in self-contained campervans, unless modified as a fixed toilet.
- The BlackMOA™ – Fixed Toilet with Removable Cassette – 12L meets these regulations effortlessly, thanks to its integrated vent system and fixed installation.
- BlackMOA™ has received the Green Warrant Certification, ensuring it meets the latest self-containment standards in New Zealand. This certification guarantees that your BlackMOA™ toilet is environmentally friendly and fully compliant with regulations, making it the perfect choice for your campervan.

Electrical Certification – EWOF
Having an Electrical WOF is a requirement of law in New Zealand
The standard covering this is AS/NZS 3001.
- A current Warrant of Electrical Fitness is required before the motorhome/caravan can be connected to the 240 volt supply system. The electrical WOF is valid for four years from month of issue. A warrant can only be issued by a Registered Electrical Inspector.
- A copy of the EWOF form together with an identifying sticker for the vehicle window will be issued to the owner. This shall be deemed to be proof of compliance.
Gas Certification
- Whist there is no expiry on a gas certificate. Any work done where gas is involved IE: stoves / 3-way fridges, a gas cert needs to be reissued. However, for your own safety we recommend that you get a new gas cert every four years.
- Any work with LPG has to be done by a Certified Gasfitter, and any work done under the ‘High risk’ category (caravans and motorhomes) needs to be logged on the government website energysafety.govt.nz – You can look up your gas certificate on the website, by typing in the Energy Safety number you are given on your gas certificate or by typing in your caravan registration/VIN number. If you are unsure about your vehicle’s current state of compliance, we can help.
