What is an electrical safety inspection?
An electrical safety inspection is an in-depth examination of your electrical system, to make sure that all electrical systems, wires, and components like appliances, comply with legal safety standards. The AS/NZS 3000 and AS/NZS 3019 sets up a list of rules that help electricians to design, do an in-service safety inspection and testing of electrical equipment.
After your electrical home inspection, an inspector will give you a thorough and prioritized checklist like areas that need immediate attention, recommendations for improvements, and further upgrade possibilities.
Getting your electrical safety inspection is essential for the safety of your home, protecting you and your family. Here are some benefits of getting your home inspected for electrical safety.

- See outdated wiring for replacement
- Recognising oversized fuses or breakers that could be a fire hazard.

Also, an electrical compliance certificate or certificate of electric safety is needed when doing electrical work.
What is a certificate of electrical safety?
The certificate of electrical safety is a certificate that guarantees that the electrical work done meets the safety standards of Australia. Only registered electrical contractors or electricians can issue the certificate of electrical safety. It is legal compliance in Australia for electrical contractors to issue safety certificates.
The certificate of electrical safety includes:
- Certificate number and barcode
- Customer name and address
- Date of the work
- Details of work and tests
- Electrician’s license number
- Electrical contractor’s license number
- Electrician’s signature
You’ll need a safety certificate every time a licensed electrician does electrical work in your house. It is also applied when electrical work is done for commercial or industrial purposes. If you’re installing a new appliance such as an air conditioning unit or even a PowerPoint, you’ll need an electrical safety certificate.
