The Olex flexible cord colours are in accordance with the requirements set out in AS/NZS 3191 and are not intended to apply to flexible cords used in fixed wiring as outlined in AS/NZS 3000. The standard range of flexible cords (with colours highlighted below), should not be used as fixed wiring, as they have incorrect insulation colours. Flexible cords can be used as fixed wiring if the alternative insulation colour scheme (ie. as per fixed cables) is used and they are of the heavy duty type or installed in the appropriate wiring enclosure.
