NSW Electrical Rewiring Regulations - Are You Compliant?
NSW law doesn't set a fixed age or replacement date for existing wiring.
Legally required for new work. Rewiring and switchboard upgrades must meet current AS/NZS 3000 standards, including RCD safety switches on the circuits being worked on.
No mandatory retrofit law. Existing wiring doesn't have to be replaced on a set timetable just because it's old. Owners carry a general duty to keep the system safe, and old ceramic fuses or ageing wiring are common reasons that duty gets harder to meet.
Good practice, not a citation. Replacing ceramic fuses with circuit breakers, adding RCDs, and rewiring once a system is showing its age (commonly, from around 40 years old) are sound recommendations, not a specific law with a cited number.
