Order in Council

At Wellington this 31st day of May 1999

Present:
The Right Hon Jenny Shipley presiding in Council

Note

The Parliamentary Counsel Office has made editorial and format changes to this version using the powers under subpart 2 of Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.

Note 4 at the end of this version provides a list of the amendments included in it.

These regulations are administered by the Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment.

Pursuant to sections 401(1) and 412(c) of the Accident Insurance Act 1998, His Excellency the Governor-General, acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council, makes the following regulations.

Regulations

1 Title and commencement

(1)

These regulations are the Accident Compensation (Occupational Hearing Assessment Procedures) Regulations 1999.

(2)

These regulations come into force on 1 July 1999.

Regulation 1(1): replaced, on 27 November 2025, by regulation 4 of the Accident Compensation (Occupational Hearing Assessment Procedures) Amendment Regulations 2025 (SL 2025/241).

2 Interpretation

In these regulations, unless the context otherwise requires,—

“A” weighting means the “A” frequency weighting specified in the International Standard IEC 651—1979

Act means the Accident Insurance Act 1998

audiometer means an audiometer that complies with the requirements of ISO 8253-1:2010 and has been calibrated in accordance with ISO 8253-1:2010 at a laboratory registered by the Accreditation Council under the Standards and Accreditation Act 2015

better ear means the ear with the lesser HTL at the relevant audiometric frequency

dBA means “A”-weighted decibel

decibel is a dimensionless unit used to compare the magnitudes of powers, intensities, or pressure squared

degree of deafness means the binaural percentage loss of hearing as a result of a hearing impairment as determined using the tables set out in Schedule 1

gradual process hearing test means the test used to assess a claim for deafness arising from a personal injury caused by a work-related gradual process as required for the purposes of section 61 of the Accident Compensation Act 2001

HTL means the hearing threshold level

Hz, which is the international measure of frequency, means hertz where 1 hertz equals 1 cycle per second

insurer means an insurer within the meaning of section 75 of the Act

ISO 8253-1:2010 means the International Organization for Standardization ISO 8253-1:2010 Acoustics—Audiometric test methods—Part 1: Pure-tone air and bone conduction audiometry

Leq (8) means that steady noise level measured in “A”-weighted decibels referenced to 20 micropascals that, when present for 8 hours, causes the same “A”-weighted noise energy to be received as that due to the actual noise over the actual working day

presbyacusis means the gradual loss of hearing that can be attributed to the ageing process

scope of practice has the same meaning as in section 5(1) of the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003

worse ear means the ear with the greater HTL at the relevant audiometric frequency.

2A Transitional, savings, and related provisions

The transitional, savings, and related provisions set out in Schedule 1AA have effect according to their terms.

Regulation 2A: inserted, on 27 November 2025, by regulation 6 of the Accident Compensation (Occupational Hearing Assessment Procedures) Amendment Regulations 2025 (SL 2025/241).

3 Application

These regulations apply to a claimant who is required to undergo a gradual process hearing test.

Regulation 3: substituted, on 1 January 2011, by regulation 5 of the Accident Insurance (Occupational Hearing Assessment Procedures) Amendment Regulations 2010 (SR 2010/425).

4 Procedures to be followed in assessment

(1)

The claimant must undergo a pure tone audiometry test of binaural loss of hearing conducted by an audiologist.

(2)

A test of the hearing of any claimant must be disregarded if the claimant has been exposed to a noise level that is likely to result in a temporary threshold shift being present during the test (such as the Leq (8) hour level greater than 85 dBA within 16 hours before testing); and the person conducting the test must ask the appropriate questions to determine whether any such exposure has occurred.

(3)

During each test, the air conduction HTL of the insured must be measured with an audiometer at audiometric frequencies 500, 1 000, 1 500, 2 000, 3 000, 4 000, 6 000, and 8 000 Hz.

(4)

During each test, the HTL of both the better ear and the worse ear must be measured at each audiometric test frequency.

(5)

The binaural percentage loss of hearing at each audiometric frequency must be calculated in accordance with the tables set out in Schedule 1 using the HTL of the better ear and the worse ear as co-ordinates.

(6)

The percentage loss of hearing calculated at each of the 8 audiometric frequencies is added together to obtain the overall percentage loss of hearing.

(7)

Every pure tone audiometry test undertaken under these regulations must comply with the technical and procedural standards of ISO 8253-1:2010.

Regulation 4(1): amended, on 27 November 2025, by regulation 7(1) of the Accident Compensation (Occupational Hearing Assessment Procedures) Amendment Regulations 2025 (SL 2025/241).

Regulation 4(1): amended, on 1 January 2011, by regulation 6(1) of the Accident Insurance (Occupational Hearing Assessment Procedures) Amendment Regulations 2010 (SR 2010/425).

Regulation 4(2): amended, on 1 January 2011, by regulation 6(2) of the Accident Insurance (Occupational Hearing Assessment Procedures) Amendment Regulations 2010 (SR 2010/425).

Regulation 4(7): amended, on 27 November 2025, by regulation 7(2) of the Accident Compensation (Occupational Hearing Assessment Procedures) Amendment Regulations 2025 (SL 2025/241).

5 Adjustment for hearing loss due to presbyacusis

For a gradual process hearing test, the overall percentage loss of hearing calculated under regulation 4(6) must be adjusted for presbyacusis by reducing the overall percentage loss of hearing by the appropriate percentage specified in Schedule 2.

Regulation 5: amended, on 1 January 2011, by regulation 7 of the Accident Insurance (Occupational Hearing Assessment Procedures) Amendment Regulations 2010 (SR 2010/425).

6 Report of assessment

In making a report of an assessment of degree of deafness, the audiologist must specify—

(a)

the tests undertaken; and

(b)

the results of these tests; and

(c)

the make and model of the audiometer used in those tests; and

(d)

the date of the last basic calibration of the audiometer and the name of the laboratory that conducted the calibration; and

(e)

the age of the claimant, and whether an adjustment has been made under regulation 5; and

(f)

any other comments relevant to the assessment.
