Description
Every building must clearly identify its main electrical switch for both occupant safety and emergency response. This identification sign features a distinctive pictogram and meets AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules requirements, ensuring compliance with national electrical standards. Available in Colorbond, polypropylene, and vinyl in two standard sizes (225×300 mm and 300×450 mm), the sign is designed for quick visual recognition in low-light conditions. Optional mounting holes simplify installation. Trade customers enjoy bulk pricing, and we deliver across Australia from our Sydney workshop.
Final sign type, wording, size, placement and material depend on the site risk, project specification and applicable jurisdiction. Confirm the requirement with the relevant WHS adviser or regulator.

Frequently asked
Is this sign mandatory under Australian electrical standards?
The appropriate safety-sign category, wording, placement and supporting controls depend on the product purpose, site risk and applicable jurisdiction. Confirm the requirement with your WHS adviser or regulator; a sign alone does not discharge WHS duties.
What size is typically used in residential versus commercial buildings?
Available sizes are 225 x 300mm (Small), 300 x 450mm (Medium). Viewing-distance notes are a practical selection aid, not a substitute for checking the approach distance, lighting, mounting position, wording and site risk assessment.
Can I get a custom pictogram or text layout?
Our standard design meets AS/NZS 3000 requirements. For custom variations, contact our design team to discuss your specific building layout and branding needs.
How do I install this on a metal switchboard?
Order with optional mounting holes and use stainless steel fasteners to prevent corrosion; alternatively, adhesive-backed vinyl versions are available for smooth surfaces.
Do you offer volume pricing for multi-site installations?
Yes. Trade accounts and facility managers purchasing for multiple locations receive tiered bulk discounts. Request a quote for your total requirement.
