AS/NZS 3000:2018

Current Date published:


Electrical installations - Known as the Australian/New Zealand Wiring Rules

Please note that this standard edition supersedes AS/NZS 3000:2007, however the earlier 2007 edition remains applicable as it is cited in the Electricity (Safety) Regulations 2010. Users of this Standard should consult with WorkSafe - Energy Safety for clarity and to confirm requirements as appropriate. Note for hard copy purchasers: The hard copy AS/NZS 3000:2018 is printed with a plastic coil bind and does not include the Electrical (Safety) Regulations.

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. Part 1 provides uniform essential elements that constitute the minimum regulatory requirements for a safe electrical installation. It also provides an alternative regulatory vehicle for Australian and New Zealand regulators seeking to move from the present prescription of AS/NZS 3000 in electrical installation safety and licensing legislation. Part 2 provides installation practices that are deemed to comply with the essential safety requirements of Part 1. This A5 size hard copy edition is bound with a plastic coil, not with a ring binder as in the previous edition.
