Kia ora Aidan Thonton,
 
On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 24/07/2025 requesting, under the Official
Information Act 1982, the following:
I am writing in regards to Peridic Assessments required under Regulation
75 of the Electrical (Safety) Regulations 2010:
https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo......

I am addressing this to the Electrical Workers Registration Board (EWRB),
as a division of MBIE.

1) Does the EWRB have any programs to ensure compliance with this
regulation, or any opinions/studies on compliance rates? If so, please
provide.

2) In relation to ESR 75 (2), who does the EWRB believe is 'authorised to
assess prescribed electrical work on the relevant kind of installation in
the relevant location'? This includes any legal opinions on the matter.

3) Has the EWRB carried out any enforcement action on those who have
carried out periodic assessments improperly, or without appropriate
training, qualifications, licensing, experience, or skill? Please provide
general statistics, or cases if minimal.

4) In relation to ESR 75 (1) (c), (e), and (f), how often would the EWRB
expect these facilities to be assessed where the standard does not give
guidance?

5) Does the EWRB believe that an installation's first periodic assessment
is required to be immediately on practical completion, after the defined
period (e.g. 1, 5 years) has elapsed after practical completion, or at
some other time?
 
We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible, and no
later than 21/08/2025, being 20 working days after the day your request
was received. If we are unable to respond to your request by then, we will
notify you of an extension of that timeframe. If you have any enquiries
regarding your request feel free to contact us via email to
[1][MBIE request email].
