المسار التنظيمي للشهادات الكهربائية

How this is calculated#

The tool points to the New Zealand regulation that applies to a job. It reads the Electricity (Safety) Regulations 2010. It does not read a Standard.

1. Work category. The tool reads the work type and who does it. It names the category of work, such as general prescribed electrical work (reg 6A).
2. Certificate of compliance. It says whether the work needs a certificate of compliance (reg 65).
3. Record of inspection. It says whether the work needs a record of inspection (reg 70).
4. Timing. It gives the days to issue an electrical safety certificate after connection (reg 74C). It gives the days to send a copy of the certificate of compliance. It also gives how long to keep it (reg 74E).
5. Standard. It names the Standard that reg 59 sets for this installation.
6. Homeowner threshold. For a homeowner, it compares your demand per phase with the reg 57 threshold.

Australia#

Choose a state or territory. The tool does not sort the work into a class. It gives the paperwork rule from the regulator's own page: the certificate, who signs it, where it goes, the deadline, who gets a copy and how long to keep it. It also links the licence register.

Each line names the regulator page and the date AmpSize read it. A line not yet read on that page says "Confirm with your regulator". AmpSize reads these pages again every quarter.

Worked example#

• New installation by a licensed person, single phase, 60 A. The tool names general prescribed electrical work. A certificate of compliance is listed and a record of inspection is not. The demand is below the 80 A per phase threshold.
• Paperwork in Victoria. The tool names the Certificate of Electrical Safety, ESVConnect and the 16 day period for prescribed work.

Limits#

• The tool points at the regulation. It is not a ruling and it is not advice. Read the current reprint.
• Regs 74A and 74B say which work a safety certificate covers. The tool names the timing only.
• Reg 74E(2A) covers a small stand-alone dwelling that has no consent. It states no period for the copy.
• The work classes are New Zealand law. For Australia the tool gives the paperwork rows only.
