At Mobility Plus NZ, we believe that safety, reliability, and long-term comfort are non-negotiable — especially when it comes to equipment that supports your mobility and independence. That’s why every product we sell is carefully chosen to meet rigorous international safety and quality standards, including CE, ISO, and relevant New Zealand certifications.
Many cheaper alternatives — including those sold on platforms like Temu, Wish, or AliExpress — may appear similar at first glance, but often lack the quality controls required for daily use. The difference may not be obvious until something goes wrong — and by then, it's too late.
When your safety or recovery depends on the equipment you buy, the right product isn't the cheapest — it's the one that lasts, works reliably, and is backed by real support in New Zealand.
Why International Standards Matter
Mobility, bathroom, and rehabilitation equipment must meet strict design and safety criteria to ensure they’re safe for everyday use — particularly for people recovering from surgery, living with reduced mobility, or managing chronic conditions.
All products offered by Mobility Plus NZ are tested to ensure they meet at least one of the following trusted standards:
ISO – International Organization for Standardization
Globally recognised as the gold standard in quality management, ISO certification guarantees that a product has been manufactured, inspected, and tested to a consistent level of safety and reliability. This includes everything from load-bearing capacity to materials used and design integrity.
CE – Conformité Européenne
CE marking is a declaration that a product complies with European Union health, safety, and environmental protection standards. It’s especially relevant for assistive devices like walkers, toilet frames, and cushions — products that are in close and frequent contact with the body.
NZ & AS/NZS Standards
Many of our products also meet or exceed Australian/New Zealand Standards for design and safety. While NZ law does not yet require all imported equipment to meet these, we voluntarily select products that do — because your wellbeing matters more than cutting corners.
Why Cheap Imports Can Be Risky
It’s tempting to grab a bargain from an overseas site — but when it comes to essential mobility products, a low price can come with hidden costs.
Here’s what we often hear from people who have bought low-cost products from offshore sites like Temu, AliExpress, or eBay:
-
The product breaks or malfunctions after only a few uses
-
The size, weight rating, or function was not accurately described
-
The product didn’t meet NZ power or safety standards
-
There is no support or warranty — if something goes wrong, you're on your own
-
Returns are costly or impossible
🛑 NO CE or ISO Certification – These products may not be tested to any recognised safety standard
🛑 NO NZ Warranty – If it fails, you’ll have to buy again
🛑 NO Local Support – Overseas sellers don’t offer advice or aftercare
🛑 HIGHER Long-Term Cost – You’ll likely have to replace it sooner
