What Does an Electrical Inspector Do?
In New Zealand, electrical compliance is governed by safety standards that cover installations, repairs and maintenance at residential and commercial properties. This includes the New Zealand Wiring Rules (AS/NZS3000:2007) and various other safety guidelines promoted by the Electrical Workers Registration Board. If you don’t follow these strict guidelines and your compliance slips, you may be exposing your employees, clients and assets to danger, including fire and electrical shocks. Non-compliance can lead to legal consequences, significant fines, and, in the worst possible case scenario, loss of life.
An Electrical Inspector holds a specific licence class issued by the Electrical Workers Registration Board (EWRB) and is authorised to assess electrical systems, appliances, and installations for compliance with New Zealand safety standards and regulations. At Legacy Electrical, our Electrical Inspector assesses your electrical infrastructure to identify hazards, verify compliance, and help maintain a safe working environment for your staff and customers.
Electrical Safety Inspections
Our electrical safety inspections assess the condition and safety of your electrical systems, switchboards, wiring, outlets, lighting, and equipment. Regular inspections can help identify hidden issues before they become dangerous or expensive problems.
We inspect commercial electrical systems in accordance with:
- Electricity (Safety) Regulations 2010 (SR 2010/36)
- AS/NZS 3000:2018 Wiring Rules
- NZS 3760 In-service Safety Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment

Identifying Electrical Hazards
Electrical hazards can develop over time due to ageing infrastructure, damaged equipment, overloaded circuits, or poor installation work. Our inspections are designed to identify potential risks early before they escalate into serious safety concerns.
Common issues we identify include:
- Faulty wiring
- Damaged power outlets
- Overloaded circuits
- Unsafe switchboards
- Non-compliant installations
- Deteriorating electrical components
- Fire risks caused by electrical faults
By proactively identifying hazards, businesses can reduce downtime, improve workplace safety, and protect valuable assets.
Why Electrical Inspections Are Important for Businesses
Regular electrical inspections are essential for maintaining a safe and legally compliant workplace. Failing to maintain electrical systems can expose businesses to significant risks, including equipment damage, electrical fires, injuries, insurance complications, and potential prosecution.
Routine inspections help businesses:
- Maintain compliance with NZ electrical regulations
- Reduce the risk of electrical accidents
- Protect staff, customers, and property
- Improve equipment performance and reliability
- Avoid unexpected downtime

For many businesses, regular inspections are not simply best practice — they are an important part of workplace health and safety obligations.

Regulation 26 of the Electricity (Safety) Regulations 2010 states, “Appliances are deemed electrically safe if they have a current test tag issued in accordance with NZS 3760.” Legacy Electrical’s Testing and Tagging services can verify your appliances’ safety, helping your business remain compliant.
