DATA APPEARANCE
QUALITY OF DATA. The M_QUAL object with a CATZOC attribute is included in New Zealand ENCs as an overlay. This may affect the appearance of the New Zealand ENCs as the ZOC polygons may overlap the LNDARE.
MINIMUM SCALE. The SCAMIN step values for object and attribute combinations have been applied to New Zealand ENCs following international standards.

UPDATES
New Zealand ENC updates are issued on a weekly basis for New Editions, and for all Permanent, Temporary and Preliminary Notices to Mariners.
