AS/NZS 3820:2020 PDF Download

An important safety standard for electrical equipment is AS/NZS 3820:2020. It applies to equipment with an output voltage of no more than 1500 volts for DC and 1000 volts for AC that is intended for use with a supply voltage. This standard's goal is to guarantee that electrical equipment is built with enough safety precautions in conformity with good engineering practice.

When the equipment is installed, maintained, and used as intended, the standard strives to prevent any harm to humans (particularly kids, the elderly, and people with disabilities), domestic animals, or property. It outlines the standards that electrical equipment must adhere to in order to operate safely and reduce any dangers.

It is significant to note that in addition to the safety criteria specified in this standard, medical electrical equipment and equipment used in hazardous environments are subject to extra safety standards. Electrical equipment should be manufactured, installed, and used in accordance with AS/NZS 3820:2020 in order to ensure its safety and avoid any potential risks.
