Electricity Act 1992

179: Certificate of compliance where prescribed electrical work covered by building consent

You could also call this:

“Special certificate needed for electrical work in building projects”

The law says that when you need a building consent for some electrical work, you also need to get a special certificate. This certificate shows that the electrical work was done properly and follows all the rules. It’s called a certificate of compliance. The law has been changed to include this new rule about certificates for electrical work that’s part of a bigger building project.
