All suppliers and manufacturers of electrical products in New Zealand have to ensure those products are safe. This includes meeting essential standards, showing regulatory compliance marks, and conforming to other regulations.
We produce guidance for the electricity industry on specific issues relating to products as they are brought to our attention. This information includes product specific installation requirements, technical information, highlighted safety issues and products that have been prohibited.
All second-hand electrical appliances sold in New Zealand must be electrically safe. A second-hand electrical appliance cannot be sold or used unless it meets certain fundamental safety requirements.
Templates for Certificates of Compliance and Electrical Safety Certificates and associated checklists, and templates for a Record of Inspection are available to download.
