This Standard sets out requirements for the design, construction and verification of electrical installations, including the selection and installation of electrical equipment forming part of such electrical installations.
These requirements are intended to protect persons, livestock, and property from electric shock, fire and physical injury hazards that may
arise from an electrical installation that is used with reasonable care and with due regard to the intended purpose of the electrical installation.
In addition, guidance is provided so that the electrical installation will function correctly for the purpose intended and takes into account
mitigating the foreseeable adverse effects of disruption to supply.
AS/NZS 3000:2018 outlines the requirements for all electrical installations in Australia and New Zealand. The Standard, also known as the Wiring Rules, is essential for professionals in the electrical industry: electricians, engineers, inspectors, builders, and renewable energy installers. It provides clear guidelines on how to design, construct and verify the quality and safety of electrical systems installed in residential, commercial, and industrial properties.
AS/NZS 3000:2018 covers all voltage types. Part One details the safety principles and minimum regulator requirements stakeholders need to adhere to. Part Two outlines the working methods and best practices for compliance.
