Does It Comply

The peak Australian electrical industry body, the National Electrical and Communications Association (NECA) and the world's leading electrical industry information portal Voltimum have joined forces in an effort to raise awareness and educate users of the dangers of using product that is not compliant to Australian Standards.

Question - Does it comply?

Our question is simple, and it's one we want everyone within the electrical value chain from home owners to suppliers to ask: "Does it comply?" (to Australian Standards). Asking this question each time you do business eliminates the risk that you could be potentially be inadvertently purchasing or installing non-compliant product.

The campaign was developed to complement the new registration scheme for electrical equipment, the Electrical Equipment Safety System (EESS) which began the planned rollout in Queensland and Victoria earlier this year.

One of the key objectives of this campaign is training and education. Voltimum and NECA will run online training programs throughout the year that will help users better understand the dangers, liabilities and implications of using non-compliant product, as well as assisting in identifying product which is non-compliant.

Contractors who undertake the training will be rewarded with a Does it Comply? partner logo which should be used on all business and marketing collateral as it is evidence of the contractor's pledge to purchase only quality, compliant materials and demonstrates their commitment to ensuring the safety of their clients.
