37 joint Australian/New Zealand adoptions of IEC standards and amendments and one revision of AS/NZS standard relating to safety of electrical equipment (EL-002) (Public Consultation)

Overview

We are consulting on 37 Australian/New Zealand adoptions of IEC standards and amendments and one revision of an existing joint AS/NZS standard. The proposed AS/NZS standards were prepared by Joint Technical Committee EL-002 Safety of household and similar electrical appliances and small power transformers and power supplies. 

• Australia and New Zealand have input via EL-002 throughout the development process of the relevant ‘parent standards’ at IEC level. This ensures the health and safety of citizens in both countries. 
• Maintaining pace with the latest international best practices and requirements will reduce the risks to the public and workers using electrical appliances.
• The proposed adoptions of relevant IEC publications for electrical appliances are either identical adoptions or modified adoptions which include Australian and New Zealand national variations. 
• For the revision of AS/NZS 3160:2009, we are seeking public comments on whether this standard is still required for equipment not covered by AS/NZS 62841 series. If the standard is no longer needed, the new edition of AS/NZS 3160 will not be published.
