Certified Electrical Designs and Electrical Plans

A Certified Electrical Design gives you the assurance that your installation has been properly specified, and complies with Safety Regulations, with no wriggle-room for unwanted adjustments.

Electrical Designs and Plans

What is this?A certified design provides accountability and obligations on the designer. It also gives the installer or electrical contractor doing the work a document to mount a defence if things don’t go as planned. This is a complete design package in its own right. There is no discretion for an electrical installer or inspector to alter and modify the certified design, any alterations made must be completed by the designer and signed off . If this were to occur they would require variations and approvals to be granted before commencement of electrical work.

What constitutes a certified design?

A certified design will identify the location of the installation and use any applicable standards used for the design where required. This must be signed and dated by the person who completed the design and/or is responsible for the design. This is then passed on to the installer who, acting in good faith, installs the equipment prescribed.

The installer will install the equipment prescribed from the certified design, test it and then certify the installation. Once this is completed they will then have it inspected where required, connect the installation pin accordance to align with the documents, specifications and requirements.

Knowing who is responsible for each step of this process gives you the reassurance that you need when providing you with a certified design using our software. OME can assure you that each design will be suitable for your required needs and agreeing to this design provides the ground plan for getting the job done right the first time.

OME use Auto Cad Electrical or Ground Plan and the Designer Certifies the design in accordance with New Zealand Electricity Safety Regulations 58 and New Zealand Electricity Safety Regulation 14.
