Adoption of the metric system of measurements in New Zealand
New Zealand logo of metrication.
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.
