What is Electrical Compliance?
Electrical compliance means that your workplace’s electrical equipment, installations, and safety systems meet the minimum standards set by Australian law. This includes regular testing and tagging of portable appliances, RCD safety switch verification, thermal imaging inspections, and proper record‑keeping
Key Australian Electrical Standards We Cover
AS/NZS 3760 – Test and Tag of Portable Appliances
This is the core standard for testing and tagging electrical equipment in commercial, industrial, and healthcare environments. It specifies testing methods, intervals, and tagging requirements. Non‑compliance can lead to fines, invalidated insurance, and serious safety risks
AS/NZS 3003 – Patient and Body Protected Areas
For hospitals, aged care, and medical facilities, AS/NZS 3003 governs electrical safety in areas where patients are treated. We specialise in these inspections to protect vulnerable people from electric shock.
