NZ Twitterverse: ISO-8601 says Monday is the first day of the week, does NZ follow that or does it use Sunday?

Would be awesome if you can. Before I ask upstream to change the default from Sun to Mon, I'd like to be able to verify the 'offical state'.
-
ok we're on it.
-
Hey, just following up. Do we know if there is an 'official' view on whether NZ has Sunday or Monday as the first day of the week?
-
Sorry Ian, we’ve had a look and it seems NZ wasn’t on the ISO committee which developed this standard so nothing official on this from us.
-
Thanks for checking. Who is in charge of setting and defining the standards used in NZ? I mean someone must have said we (should) use dd/mm/yyyy.
-
Standards New Zealand manage the development of standards, they also publish & sell them but as mentioned NZ wasn't involved in the dvpt of this one. We'll continue to ask around but in the meantime maybe
@ArchivesNZ has some ideas? -
Good question! Not one we know the answer to. If you email research.archives@dia.govt.nz one of our archivists can have a look into the question in more detail and suggest if there are any relevant records in our possession.
