AS/NZS 3112:2025 Approval and test specification- Plugs and socket-outlets

AS/NZS 3112:2025 is the harmonized Australian and New Zealand Standard for AC power plugs and socket-outlets, applicable to devices rated up to 500 V and 32 A for household and similar purposes. It defines the Type I three-pin configuration (two flat angled pins in an inverted V-shape plus a central earth pin), pin dimensions, and current ratings (10 A, 15 A, 20 A, 25 A, 32 A) to ensure regional interoperability.

The standard mandates strict safety requirements, including insulation of live/neutral pins, mechanical strength, and temperature resistance, alongside comprehensive testing procedures to verify compliance. It is widely adopted across Australia, New Zealand, and several Pacific Island nations, serving as the foundational specification for product design, certification, and market entry.
