Electrical Wiring Regulations 1935—Plugs and Cord Connectors

Rubber plugs and cord connectors that do not have my approval shall not be manufactured for sale, offered for sale, installed, or used.

In addition to compliance with the requirements of N.Z.S.S. 198, and where my approval is required, all plugs and cord connectors shall henceforth comply with the following:

(a) The body and the cover of any plug, or socket portion of any cord connector, constructed in more than one piece, shall be so secured one to the other that they are able to be detached only by the use of a screwdriver or some other tool, and only when the plug is not inserted in a plug-socket or a cord-connector socket.

(b) The means provided for relief from strain on the conductors where they are attached to the terminals of a plug or cord connector shall be fully effective with the range of sizes and types of flexible cord to which the plug or cord connector is normally likely to be connected in service.

(c) The design and construction of every plug shall be such that the correct alignment and projection of the pins are securely and permanently maintained.

Dated at Wellington this 1st day of November 1955.
