AS/NZS 3019 sets out the requirements for periodic assessment of existing electrical installations which are connected to a low voltage a.c. supply system (exceeding 50 V a.c. but not exceeding 1 000 V a.c.). Inspection and/or testing is intended, as far as reasonably practicable, to determine whether the installation and all its constituent equipment is in a safe condition for continued use.

Outlines principles, guidelines and procedures for safe work on or near low-voltage and extra-low voltage electrical installations and equipment; provides a minimum set of procedures, safety requirements and recommendations to manage the hazards associated with electricity, specifically arc blast, arc flash, electric shock, and electrocution.

Specifies requirements for the design, installation, maintenance and testing of lightning protection on common structures, and for electrical and electronic systems within those structures for the protection of people and property from the hazards of lightning.

Sets out requirements for electrical installations associated with site supplies for connectable electrical installations that are intended for connection to low voltage a.c. supply systems (i.e. exceeding 50 V a.c. but not exceeding 1 000 V a.c.).

Specifies procedures for the safety inspection and testing of low voltage single phase and polyphase electrical equipment, connected to the electrical supply by a flexible cord or connecting device.

Specifies requirements for electrical installations associated with connectable electrical installations used for the purposes of accommodation, habitation or other residential, commercial purposes or recreational uses that are intended for connection to external low voltage a.c. supply systems (i.e. 50 V a.c. to 1000 V a.c.) by either a detachable supply lead or a supply lead directly connected to the connectable electrical installation; includes requirements and provides guidance for the installation of extra-low voltage systems (i.e. less than 50 V a.c. or 120 V d.c. ripple free).

AS NZS 3000 2018 (known as the Australian/New Zealand Wiring Rules) specifies requirements for the design, construction and verification of electrical installations, including the selection and installation of electrical equipment forming part of such electrical installations; part 1 provides provisions that constitute the minimum regulatory requirements for a safe electrical installation; part 2 provides work methods and installation practices that are ‘deemed to comply’ with the requirements of Part 1.

Covering the design and construction of multi-residential, commercial, industrial and public assembly buildings.

Covering the design and construction of smaller scale buildings including houses, small sheds, carports and some associated structures.

Covering the design, construction and maintenance of plumbing and drainage systems in new and existing buildings.
