AS/NZS 3760, 6th – In-service safety inspection and testing of electrical equipment and RCDs

AS/NZS 3760 specifies procedures for the safety inspection and testing of low voltage single
phase and polyphase electrical equipment, connected to an electrical supply by a flexible cord or
connecting device, and that:
– Is new equipment placed into service for the first time;
– Is already in-service;
– Has been serviced or repaired;
– Is returning to service from a second-hand sale; or
– Is available for hire.

– Portable inverters that generate or produce low voltage.
Typical examples of equipment covered by this standard are:
– Portable equipment, hand-held equipment and stationary equipment, designed for
connection to the low voltage supply by a supply cord, an appliance inlet or pins for
insertion into a socket-outlet;
– Cord sets, cord extension sets and portable outlet devices;
– Portable residual current devices (PRCD), outgoing assemblies for construction sites
(ACS); portable socket-outlet assemblies (PSOA), outlet boxes;
– Flexible cords connected to fixed equipment in hostile environments;
– Portable power supplies (includes power adaptor/plug-pack, both of the safety isolating
transformer and switch-mode type);
– Battery chargers, including those for commercial or industrial use;
– Portable and transportable heavy duty tools such as high-pressure washers and concrete
