Certification & Compliance for Accredited Electricians in Sydney

When it comes to electrical work in Sydney, it’s not just about skill — it’s about safety, legality, and compliance. Choosing a certified electrician ensures your installation or repair follows NSW regulations, protects your property, and avoids fines or disconnections.

At No.1 Sydney Electrical, we’re proud to be fully licensed Level 2 Accredited Service Providers (ASPs) — trusted to deliver compliant, certified work across residential, commercial, and construction projects in NSW.

Why Certification Matters in NSW

Electrical systems are governed by strict standards due to the risk of injury, fire, or supply failure. NSW has some of Australia’s most comprehensive regulatory frameworks for electrical services, covering:

• Property connections to the electrical network
• Switchboard and metering work
• Private power pole installations
• Underground and overhead mains cabling
• New builds, subdivisions, and major upgrades

Only certified and authorised electricians are allowed to perform work on or near the network. These electricians must be registered, insured, and listed with the NSW Government’s ASP (Accredited Service Provider) Scheme.

What Is an Accredited Service Provider (ASP)?

An ASP is a licensed electrician approved to carry out contestable electrical work on NSW's electricity distribution network — including new connections, disconnections, upgrades, and repairs. ASPs are categorised into three levels:

• Level 1: Infrastructure work on public poles and substations (usually performed by larger contractors)
• Level 2: Work between the street network and your premises — including metering, service lines, switchboards, and private poles
• Level 3: Design and planning of electrical connections (typically engineers)

Most home and business owners need a Level 2 ASP — like No.1 Sydney Electrical — for legal and safe electrical connections.

Electrical Compliance in Sydney: What It Includes

Hiring a compliant electrician means they follow and issue the necessary documentation, including:

• NSW Service and Installation Rules (SIRs): The legal standard for wiring, metering, and connection points
• Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW): Proves the job was completed safely and according to code
• Notifications to Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy: Required for all network connections and upgrades
• Network Authority Approvals: For major upgrades like 3-phase power or new property connections

Failure to follow these rules could lead to:

• Rejection of your energy connection request
• Fines or penalties from regulators
• Voided insurance claims in the event of fire or damage
• Dangerous installations that put lives at risk

Signs Your Electrician Is Fully Certified

Not sure if your electrician is compliant? Ask for the following credentials:

1. ASP Level 2 authorisation: Should be registered with the NSW Government
2. Electrical contractor license number: Valid in NSW and up to date
3. Public liability insurance: Minimum $5–20 million recommended
4. Proof of CCEW on previous jobs: A legally required form for regulated work

At No.1 Sydney Electrical, we provide all documentation upfront — and include it with every quote and completed job for your records.
