Recall Ready

IMPORTANT: Some retailers require you to maintain a Recall Ready status as part of their terms of trade.

The 'Recall Ready' status indicates that your ProductRecallNZ account is up to date and that you are ready to use the service to issue a recall notification in the event of a product issue.

To be Recall Ready, you must have completed the following tasks within the last 12 months:

  • Complete a Mock Notification
  • Confirm your user's details are up to date

If your Recall Ready status is expiring an automated email reminder will be sent to administrators.

This section covers how to renew your Recall Ready status. Click each step for more detail.

Note: If you're not following an email link, you can log in to www.productrecallnz.org and click on the Organisations and Recall Ready menu to view your Recall Ready status.

FAQ

This section offers solutions to common problems you might be having. Read the Mock Notification and User Maintenance articles for more in-depth guides on each task. You can also register for a free webinar.

Check the status of your mock notification.

If it has a status of 'Draft' for 'Submitted for Approval', your notification is not completed. See the Mock Notification guide on how to complete and approve your mock notification.

If it has a status of 'Live', but the due date hasn't been updated, it will be because your notification is a copy or an update. You will need to create a new mock notification for this task to be updated.

This menu is only visible to account administrators and user administrators. If you can't see these menus, it is because you are not an administrator.

To view and update your Recall Ready status you will need to be made an administrator. See the User Maintenance guide for more information on administrator roles.

Only users with an Initiator role can create new notifications.

An administrator from your organization will need to give you this role before you can complete a Mock Notification.

See the User Maintenace guide for more information on user roles.

If the account administrator is still at your organization, they can promote another user to this role. Instructions on how to do this can be found in the User Maintenance guide.

If the account administrator has left your organization, you will need send the full contact details of the new person for the account administrator role to the GS1 Support team. You can contact them at support@gs1nz.org, or on 0800 10 23 56.
