Specifies essential safety requirements for electrical portable outlet devices (EPOD). To be read in conjunction with AS/NZS 3100.

This Standard applies to electrical portable outlet devices primarily intended for household and similar use at low voltage and having outlet facilities in the form of socket-outlets or cord extension sockets or connectors. They are connected to the supply by either a power supply cord and a plug or an appliance inlet.This Standard does not apply to the following:Cord extension sets, within the scope of AS/NZS 3199.Portable residual current devices, within the scope of AS/NZS 3190. Socket-outlet adaptors, within the scope of AS/NZS 3122.Electric inspection handlamps, within the scope of AS/NZS 60598.2.8.Portable control or conditioning devices, within the scope of AS/NZS 3197.
