AS/NZS 3112:2011 PDF Download

AS/NZS 3112:2011 is a standard that outlines the approval and test specifications for plugs and socket-outlets in Australia and New Zealand. Its primary purpose is to provide the electrical industry, including manufacturers, test laboratories, and regulators, with the necessary requirements and test methods to ensure the safety and reliability of these electrical products.

The standard covers various aspects of plugs and socket-outlets, including their design, construction, performance, and testing. It sets out specific requirements for dimensions, materials, and markings, ensuring that these products meet the necessary safety standards.

In addition, AS/NZS 3112:2011 also includes test methods for evaluating the electrical and mechanical performance of plugs and socket-outlets. These tests assess factors such as electrical insulation, current-carrying capacity, temperature rise, and impact resistance to ensure that the products can withstand normal usage and potential hazards.
