The purpose of this Regulation is to update the Schedule of electrical articles in the Electrical Articles Regulation 1985, in keeping with an Order by the Governor

updating the list of articles to which Part 4C of the Electricity Act 1945 applies.

Part 4C of the Act requires the electrical articles to which it applies to be

approved for sale in New South Wales and to meet certain requirements. The

Regulation provides the procedure for testing and approving those articles, the fees

for testing etc. The procedure and the fees are related to the particular category of article, and the Schedule not only lists the articles but divides them into 3 categories for that purpose.
