Low-voltage electrical equipment construction and safety are governed by the AS/NZS 3820:1998 standard. In order to avoid any potential risks to people, especially children, the elderly, and people with disabilities, as well as domestic animals and property, the standard intends to ensure that such equipment is designed and constructed in line with good engineering principles.

The standard places a strong emphasis on the need for electrical equipment to be able to be installed, maintained, and used in intended applications safely. It lays forth the fundamental safety standards that producers must satisfy to guarantee that, when used properly, their products don't pose any dangers. This entails abiding by safety laws, putting in place sufficient safety safeguards throughout production, and upholding recognized electrical safety standards.
