Thanks Sajid for the response. I am curious to understand what made you go with clipsal? are there any formal legislation/certification required for Australian standard? Just that is the only standard here in AU And don’t risk fancy stuff as it will cost more in future if insurance finds put imported electrical stuff was used, clear rejection of claims If it is SAA cleared/approved, there should be no issue.
