New Electrical Regulations

Melbourne Has New Electrical Regulations

Here are some general guidelines to follow:

• Before beginning any electrical tasks on your property, the electricians must obtain your permission. Check to see if they carry the necessary certification for the job. They must keep you updated on how they plan to manage upgrades and repairs and how these will affect other devices on your property.
• If you or someone in your household is receiving medical care on the premises and medical equipment exists there, no electrical work should be started near it. Even minor changes to electrical systems can affect the working of that equipment.
• A functional switchboard is required on your property because it controls and transfers electricity to different rooms and areas in your commercial building or residence.
• All electrical materials must be properly labelled and separated, especially in multi-occupant structures. This helps to identify which lines and wires belong to you in if you require repairs or changes.
• All electrical systems should be thoroughly tested before they are put to use. This reduces the likelihood of problems arising from poor wiring conditions or faulty fixtures.
