Periodic Electrical Inspection Certificate

The Australian Periodic Electrical Inspection Certificate is a formal condition report on an existing electrical installation, carried out by a licensed electrician as a periodic assessment under AS/NZS 3019, judged against the AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules. It assesses the installation's earthing system, supply characteristics, and circuit condition, recording observations and defects with recommended actions. Periodic inspections are recommended for rental properties, change of occupancy, insurance requirements, and older installations that may not comply with current Wiring Rules.

AS/NZS 3019:2022 (Electrical installations - Periodic assessment), AS/NZS 3000:2018 (Wiring Rules), state tenancy and electrical safety regulationsValid: Every 2 years for Victorian rental properties; elsewhere as the electrician recommends

Frequently asked questions about Periodic Electrical Inspection

Is a periodic electrical inspection required for rental properties in Australia?
Requirements vary by state. In Victoria a rental provider must have an electrical safety check done every two years by a licensed electrician, following section 4 of AS/NZS 3019:2022. Queensland requires safety checks at change of tenancy for some older properties. Check your state regulator for the rule that applies.
What will an electrical inspector look for in an older property?
Common findings in older Australian properties include absence of RCD protection, undersized wiring to modern load demands, deteriorated insulation, lack of earthing to metallic fittings, outdated rewirable fuse boards, and non-compliant switchboard configurations. The inspector classifies each finding by severity.
What happens if the inspection finds an unsafe condition?
If a danger (equivalent to C1 in the UK) is found, the inspector should advise the client to take immediate action, which may include de-energising the affected circuit. Less urgent findings are classified and recorded with recommended remedial work timelines. A follow-up certificate can be issued once remedial work is completed.
