What is a CCEW?
A Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) is a legal document mandated by the Gas and Electricity (Consumer Safety) Act 2017 and the Gas and Electricity (Consumer Safety) Regulation 2018. It serves as your declaration as a licensed electrician that the electrical work you have performed is safe and complies with the Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 3000, ‘Wiring Rules’, and other relevant standards.Issuing a CCEW is a non-negotiable part of most electrical work in NSW. It
provides a record for the customer, the network operator (distributor), and
yourself, and is crucial for safety, compliance, and insurance purposes.
