Metrication in New Zealand
Adoption of the metric system of measurements in New Zealand / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New Zealand started metrication in 1969 with the establishment of the Metric Advisory Board (MAB) and completed metrication on 14 December 1976.[1] Until the 1970s, New Zealand traditionally used the imperial system for measurement, which it had inherited from the United Kingdom.
