A person that holds a Restricted Electrical Licence issued by the NSW Office of Fair Trading, or equivalent State agency is required to have completed a TAFE qualification following the completion of a training course of 54 hours duration. The training course covers a broad range of electrical related topics, including the use of testing instruments such as insulation resistance testers and multimeters. People holding the above licence and who have maintained their level of competency through regular on-the-job use of electrical testing instruments, should be capable of performing the inspection and testing activities outlined in the Standard AS/NZ 3760. The decision about the competency level of such a licence holder rests with the employer, who must be satisfied that the person is competent to perform the inspection and testing tasks required by the Standard, AS/NZS 3760.
