The Mandatory Tests Every Good Electrician Should Provide.
When you hire an electrician, you’re trusting them to keep your home or business safe. But here’s a question worth asking: are they giving you the test results to prove mandatory electrical testing has actually been carried out?
It’s surprising (and a little shocking, pun intended) how many electricians either don’t—or can’t—provide this crucial documentation.
The AS/NZS 3000 Mandatory Testing Requirements
According to Australian Standards, licensed electricians must carry out specific tests on every installation job before it’s considered complete. These include:
- Visual Inspection – Ensures all electrical work has been finished correctly and safely.
- Earthing System Continuity – Verifies that the earth connection is continuous and effective.
- Insulation Resistance – Confirms the insulation between conductors is intact.
- Polarity – Checks that live and neutral conductors are connected to the correct terminals.
- Fault Loop Impedance (FLI) – Measures the earth fault loop to confirm power will disconnect automatically in the event of a fault.
- Residual Current Device (RCD) Operation – Tests that RCDs trip as required on final sub-circuits.
Skipping or failing to document these tests can leave you exposed to unnecessary safety risks.
