Electricity Act 1968

Standards for Medical Electrical Safety

This is to advise persons having an interest in electrical safety requirements for medical electrical equipment that the office of the Chief Electrical Inspector of the Ministry of Commerce is intending to adopt joint Australian/New Zealand Standards to set the safety requirements, pursuant to the Electricity Act 1968.

These standards are currently being drafted in Australia based on the International Electrotechnical Commission Standards for various types of medical electrical equipment by committees incorporating New Zealand representation.

Persons having an interest in the adoption of these standards are requested to register their interest with the Chief Electrical Inspectors Office.

The Chief Electrical Inspectors Office will be co-ordinating with the Standards Association of New Zealand and Standards Australia to ensure that where possible the draft standard will be available for consideration prior to promulgation to allow the introduction of variations to the International Documents.

Where variations cannot be incorporated into the text to produce joint standards, it is proposed that the variations will become part of the New Zealand Code of Practice for Electrical Safety of Apparatus and Material 1991 (NZEC P: 3 1991).

The Chief Electrical Inspectors Office will endeavour to ensure that parties which have registered their interest are kept informed of progress during this work.

The formal opportunity to comment on the introduction of these standards will be available through the public comment process associated with proposed amendments to The New Zealand Code of Practice for Electrical Safety of Apparatus and Materials 1991 (NZEC P: 3 1991).

Persons are further advised that both Standards Association of New Zealand and the Chief Electrical Inspectors Office have a common advisory committee on this topic. Information regarding membership of this committee for the drafting of those standards, which represents the interests of industry groups, is available from Standards Association of New Zealand or the Chief Electrical Inspectors Office.

Address for Correspondence: Chief Electrical Inspectors Office, Energy and Resources Division, Ministry of Commerce, P.O. Box 2337, Wellington, or Standards Association of New Zealand, Private Bag, Wellington.

P. J. MORFEE, Chief Electrical Inspector.
