Draft Designation: DR AS/NZS 3012:2018The objective of this Standard is to establish sound practices for the fair use of electricity at
construction and demolition sites. It is to be used in conjunction with AS/NZS 3000, Electrical Installations (known as the Australia/New Zealand Wiring Rules).
Statements expressed in mandatory terms in notes to figures and tables are deemed to be requirements
of this Standard.
The terms 'normative' and 'informative' are used in Standards to define the application of the appendix to which they apply. A 'normative' appendix is an integral part of a Standard, whereas
an 'informative' appendix is for information and guidance.
Originated in Australia as AS 3012-1990. Jointly revised and redesignated as AS/NZS 3012:1995. Third edition 2003. Previous edition 2010. Fifth edition 2019. Reissued incorporating Amendment No. 1 (March 2020).
This Standard sets out minimum requirements for the design, construction and testing of electrical installations that supply electricity to appliances and equipment on construction and demolition sites, and for the in-service testing of portable, transportable and fixed electrical equipment used on construction and demolitions sites.
The requirements are intended to protect personnel, livestock and properties from electric shock, fire and physical injury hazards that may arise from an electrical installation that is used with reasonable care and with due regard to the intended purpose of the electrical installation.
