For electricians
Cable sizing to AS/NZS 3008, maximum demand to AS/NZS 3000, SWMS generation and a cited chat that knows the Wiring Rules. One platform, built for Australian electricians.
Get started freeThe toolkit
The calculations, documents and answers an electrician reaches for, each grounded in the standard it answers to.
Pick the right cable for the installation. Current carrying capacity, voltage drop, short circuit rating and installation derating, single or three phase.
Work maximum demand for residential and commercial installations. Diversity factors and submain sizing handled to AS/NZS 3000 Section 2.
Draft a Safe Work Method Statement for electrical work. Describe the task and the hazards, isolation procedures and PPE come back ready to review.
Ask anything about the Wiring Rules, cable selection, the NCC or WHS obligations. Cited answers with the clause reference, grounded in the current standards.
NSW regulatory change
NSW is moving the Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work to digital lodgement through the Fair Trading portal. Paper certificates stop being accepted at the cutover, and every NSW electrical contractor needs to be set up for it before the first job that falls under the new system.
The full guide walks through what changes and how to be ready: the 2026 NSW digital CCEW mandate.
Get set up earlyGrounded in the standards
Electrical work in Australia answers to a stack of standards and state regulations, and the day-to-day job is knowing which clause applies to the task in front of you. Standardsmate is built on that corpus so the answer comes back cited, not guessed.
AS/NZS 3000, the Wiring Rules, is the core. It governs RCD protection, switchboard clearances, earthing and the rules for altering existing installations. Touching an old circuit can pull it up to current standards even when the rest of the board predates the rule, which is exactly where quotes go wrong. Cable selection runs on AS/NZS 3008, where current carrying capacity is derated for installation method, grouping, temperature and insulation, and voltage drop is the second calculation that decides long runs.
On top of the national standards sit the state rules: the certificate you lodge, the regulator you answer to, and the deadlines that apply. New South Wales is moving the Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work to digital lodgement in 2026, a change every NSW electrician needs to be set up for.
