Three joint Australian/New Zealand adoptions of IEC amendments relating to safety of electrical equipment (EL-002) (Public Consultation)

Overview

We are consulting on 3 adoptions of the following amendments to IEC standards:

• AMD1 to IEC 60335-2-114, Ed.2.0
• AMD1 to IEC 60335-2-106, Ed.2.0
• AMD1 to IEC 62841-4-3, Ed.1.0

The proposed AS/NZS amendments were prepared by Joint Technical Committee EL-002 Safety of household and similar electrical appliances and small power transformers and power supplies.

• Aligning and maintaining pace with the latest international best practices and requirements will avoid 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.
