Metrication in New Zealand

New Zealand started metrication in 1969 with the establishment of the Metric Advisory Board (MAB) and fully completed metrication on 14 December 1976. Until the 1970s, New Zealand traditionally used the imperial system for measurement, which was due to historically being a colony of the United Kingdom.
