Electrical Installation Standards

These are the Electrical Installation Standards

The Electrical Installation set combines ten core electrical standards that provide safety and installation guidance.

The set includes AS/NZS 3000:2018 Electrical installations, commonly known as the Wiring Rules, and installations, inspections and lighting.

The Electrical Installations Set is also be highly useful for manufacturers, engineers, safety inspectors and officers.

Available in the Electrical Installation set.
