18 joint Australian/New Zealand adoptions of IEC standards a 18 joint Australian/New Zealand adoptions of IEC standards and two amendments relating to EL-002

We are consulting on 18 adoptions of IEC standards and two amendments to existing joint Australian/New Zealand (AS/NZS) standards. The proposed AS/NZS standards were prepared by Joint Technical Committee EL-002 Safety of household and similar electrical appliances and small power transformers. 
- Australia and New Zealand have input via EL-002 throughout the development process of the relevant ‘parent standards’ at IEC level. This ensures the health and safety of citizens in both countries. 
- Maintaining pace with the latest international best practices and requirements will reduce the risks to the public and workers using electrical appliances.
- The proposed adoptions of relevant IEC publications for electrical appliances are either identical adoptions (IDTs) or modified adoptions (MODs) which include Australian and New Zealand national variations. 
- The proposed national amendments are developed by EL-002 to mitigate identified safety issues in the current AS/NZS standards.
