Important information for business relating to electrical product recalls can also be obtained from the ERAC (Electrical Regulatory Authorities Council) guidelines document (PDF, 36 KB), which lists the requirements for an electrical product recall.
These guidelines are to be read in conjunction with guidelines from Recalls Australia - A guide for suppliers (non-Queensland Government link) - on how to recall unsafe consumer products is also available from Product Recalls Australia.
Electrical product recalls are released by the responsible company and may be found at the federal Product Recalls Australia web site (non-Queensland Government link) as well as here.
In the interest of public safety, the Electrical Safety Office would like to bring attention to product recalls. Recall notices placed on this web site are not withdrawn until the Electrical Safety Office is satisfied that all items have been withdrawn from use.
The Recalls Australia web site may only have the recall listed on its web site for up to 12 months. This does not mean the recall is closed.
The Electrical Safety Office considers that a recall is not complete until every one of the affected items have been accounted for (repaired, rectified, retrieved or destroyed). The manufacturer or importer has obligations under the Electrical Safety Act 2002 (PDF, 788 KB) and must ensure they comply with those obligations.
It is recommended that when checking the recall notices with an issue date of more than 12 months old to contact the company or service agent directly by obtaining contact numbers and addresses through telephone directories or a web site.
The electrical safety product recalls listed on this web site is not a complete list of every type of recall - these recalls have been chosen due to particular electrical safety issues. For a complete list of all types of recalls, visit the Product Recalls Australia web site (non-Queensland Government link) .
