Electrical Safety Testing

For electrical safety testing, test reports to derivatives of IEC 950:1991 (or EN 60950/EN 41003 in UK/Europe) from overseas laboratories are acceptable provided that the laboratory concerned is acceptable to the Energy Inspection Group, Operations and Risk Management, Ministry of Commerce (see list in Electrical Code of Practice, NZECP 3, Appendix B). This generally includes all laboratories accredited by IANZ (or any other national accreditation body recognised by IANZ, such as NATA, NAMAS, HOKLAS, etc) for electrical safety testing.
