Electrical certification expands to NSW

The New South Wales Office of Fair Trading has confirmed that electrical goods certified by SGS can now be sold in NSW. In May 2004, the Joint Accreditation Service of Australia and New Zealand (JAS-ANZ) accredited SGS Electrical Product Certification Services (EPCS) as a third party certification body to issue either a Certificate of Approval for prescribed electrical equipment that is proven to comply with the requirements of the applicable Australian Standard, or a Certificate of Compliance for nonprescribed electrical equipment that is proven to comply with the requirements of the applicable Australian Standard for which the application has been made.
