TechSafe Australia Pty Ltd (TechSafe) provides electrical safety inspection services under contract to the Department of Justice.
They inspect new electrical work for compliance and electrical safety. They also investigate electric shock and fire incidents.
For electrical contractors
You must submit a Certificate of Electrical Compliance (CEC) form to TechSafe for all notifiable electrical work performed.
Books of CEC forms are available from all Service Tasmania shops, or from the TechSafe office at 1/2 Jannah Court in Mornington.
Find out how to provide notification of electrical work.
TechSafe may issue a Notice of Defective Electrical Work (NDEW) if they identify non-compliant electrical work during an inspection. More information on NDEWs can be found here – Electrical Standards and Safety Regulatory Guide - Notices of Defective Electrical Work (NDEWs) (PDF, 238.8 KB).
Inspection fees apply for NDEWs. For a complete list of fees, please visit our fee schedule page.
If you need to discuss a CEC form or a NDEW with TechSafe, you can contact them by phoning (03) 6282 3100 or emailing tascec@techsafe.com.au.
For property owners
TechSafe may contact you to arrange an inspection of electrical work at your property. They may do this if you had work performed recently and your contractor submitted a Certificate of Electrical Compliance (CEC) for the work.
These inspections are optional but are highly recommended. If TechSafe identifies electrical work defects they can require the contractor to fix them at their own cost.
TechSafe only performs inspections if requested by CAT. If you have electrical safety concerns about your property, you should contact a licensed electrical contractor to look at it and perform repairs if necessary.
If you have concerns about an electrical contractor, please contact CAT by phoning 1300 654 499 or emailing CAT.info@justice.tas.gov.au.
