Approved electrical articles register

In NSW, certain appliances and equipment (known as declared articles) must be approved by NSW Fair Trading or by an approved equivalent, have the appropriate approval mark and follow the relevant safety standard before they can be sold.

The remaining appliances and equipment (known as non-declared articles) must follow the minimum safety requirements contained in Australian Standard AS/NZS 3820:2009 as amended. Declared appliances and equipment certified by schemes administered by other States and Territories and external authorised approval schemes are recognised by NSW. This register records information for approvals for declared and non declared electrical articles including:

• the name of the approval holder
• description of the model to which the approval relates
• the date of the approval
• the duration of the approval
• the model reference code for the model concerned
• any modifications to the model approval granted by the Secretary.

Important: Information in this register relates only to articles approved by NSW Fair Trading.
