- A qualification at NZQF Level 7 or higher, with a letter from IPENZ certifying that the degree and any further learning meet the benchmark requirements towards Chartered Professional Engineer professional status in New Zealand
- NZ registration as a Chartered Professional Engineer by the Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand.
Note 3 refers you to the International Engineering Alliance website where you can check if a degree is accredited under the Washington Accord
2nd link, if you click through to "Guide for Engineers" "Read the IPENZ guide"

Confirming your qualification is recognised in New Zealand
If you think you may be eligible for a skilled migrant visa, you can claim bonus eligibility points if you have qualifications in an area of absolute skills shortage.
Engineering qualifications must be equivalent to those awarded by signatories of the Washington Accord. To check if your academic qualification was awarded from an accredited engineering programme, go to the International Engineering Alliance website
Our qualification services
If your qualification was not awarded by an accredited programme, IPENZ offers qualification services to help determine if you are eligible for bonus immigration points under the Long Term Skills Shortage List.
So I read both of those that as saying - "If you're degree isn't Washington accord accredited you will need to get it assessed by IPENZ"
