Caravan Electrical Compliance NSW

.
Keith, The (sample) form appears in AS/NZS 3001 but you will not be able to access that unless you have a purchased online copy as I have.
But you should be able to 'right-click' on the image I posted above and print it from there. It is however marked as a "sample form" and NSW legislation may require the certification to be in a different form or manner. Take note of what Ron has said below.
I would expect your Sparky to be able to use his industry links to get the right answer. You could also ask your registration authority what documentation is required.

Yes Ron, thanks for that. As you may expect, I am not un-familiar with the variances in State electrical and bureaucratic requirements. My searching the internet was not much help either. But I should have thought that a "sparky" working in the NSW industry would be able to navigate it.

As you say, "it appears Fair Trading NSW is the main NSW Govt division responsible for electrical installation regulation and advice."
To me, that seems a surprising agency to manage these functions, but Governments work in mysterious ways. lol

I may guess that the NSW Roads and Maritime Services, as the registering authority, will require a conformance statement from a licensed electrician and that may be in the form illustrated in the AS 3001, but it may be more specific, who knows? Ask the registering agency.

It appears from numerous other forum discussions, that NSW is particularly lax when it comes to checking electrical installation compliance in caravans - with many forumites stating they never had any request to view electrical compliance certificates (ECC), or electrical compliance signage, upon registration.

However, if you want to travel interstate, I can advise you that W.A., S.A., VIC, and Tas do have a requirement for an ECC, and signage inside the 'van, to denote that the 'van is electrically compliant to AS/NZS 3001:2008.

All caravans connected to power in caravan parks are obliged by law to have an ECC, and signage in the 'van, stating same.
Caravan park owners have the right to refuse to accommodate your 'van, if there is no electrical compliance signage visible.
However, caravan park operators appear to rarely enforce this rule, often due to inadequate staff numbers and a lack of training.

They do so at their risk, because any electrical fire in a 'van in a caravan park, will result in an investigation that will centre on electrical compliance - and if the park owner is found to have been allowing in 'vans that are not electrically compliant, their PL insurance policy will be void.

The kicker here is that a 'van only needs to comply with electrical laws that were in place, in the year when it was built. That gives some leeway for 'vans of considerable age, when electrical laws were less stringent.

However, as a W.A. owner of numerous 'vans, way back to the 1960's, I can recall all my W.A. built vans having an ECC form glued to the inside of the 'van, in a visible position, even in the early 1970's - and I can remember caravan park operators in W.A. wanting to see that signage, in the 1970's.

Here is a link to a old mid-1990's W.A. Energy Safety bulletin, detailing the electrical compliance requirements for caravans back then (on page 4).

Energy Safety - W.A. - 1995

In those days, the ECC signage in the W.A.-built 'van had to be affixed by a Western Power Electrical Inspector.
The regulations were then relaxed to allow licenced electricians, or electrical contractors, to install the compliance signage in 'vans.

Cheers, Ron.
