We provide fast delivery, reliable customer support, and long‑term supply relationships with trade professionals across Australia.

Electrical meters should generally be calibrated at least once every 12 months, depending on how often they are used and the type of work involved. Frequent use or exposure to harsh conditions may require more regular calibration. Accurate readings are critical when testing circuits or diagnosing faults, so calibration ensures reliability and compliance.

Choosing the right Level 2 ASP equipment depends on the scope of your work and the regional Utility requirements where you perform the work. Which can include overhead connections, underground cabling, and metering installations. It’s important to select equipment that meets Australian and Utility standards, is built to last, and delivers accurate results.

Level 2 ASP equipment is used by authorised service providers to safely connect, disconnect, and maintain electrical services between the network and properties. This equipment is designed to limit risk when performing high-risk tasks and ensures compliance with strict safety and regulatory requirements, making it essential for professional electrical work.

Electrical work involves exposure to live currents, high voltage, and hazardous environments. Safety equipment such as insulated gloves, testers, and protective tools helps minimise these risks. Using proper safety gear not only protects workers but also ensures compliance with workplace regulations and reduces the likelihood of costly incidents.

The right tools depend on the type of job you’re performing. Look for tools that are durable, easy to handle, and compliant with the relevant Australian standard such as AS/NZS 60900:2018. AS/NZS 4836:2023 — Covers Safe Working on or Near Low‑Voltage Electrical Installations.

EFO stock products that are compliant to the various relevant standards applicable for that product.

  • AS/NZS 60900:2018 — Insulated hand tools for live working (1,000V rated)
  • AS/NZS 4836:2023 — Safe working on or near LV installations
  • AS/NZS 3000:2018 — Wiring Rules (tool compliance requirements)
  • AS/NZS 5804 — High‑voltage live working (EV & HV systems)
  • ISO 17493 / ASTM F1506 — Arc‑flash PPE standards

Using poor-quality tools can lead to inaccurate readings, equipment failure, and serious safety risks. A faulty tester may not detect live current, putting the user at risk. Investing in reliable equipment helps prevent these issues and ensures safer, more efficient work on-site.

Yes, high-quality electrical tools are designed to make tasks faster and more accurate. For example, advanced testing equipment can quickly identify faults, reducing downtime. Durable tools also last longer, leading to fewer replacements and interruptions and helping electricians’ complete jobs more efficiently.
