Hi Richard,

It's certainly mandatory for Australia, but was not mandatory for NZ last time 
I looked. 

The standard should be AS/NZS 3108, or for IT equipment you may use AS/NZS 3260.

Let me know if you need further assistance.

  Is safety certification mandatory in Australia or New Zealand for external
  power supply "adapters" such as the types used with laptop computers? If so,
  what is the mandatory safety standard and which agency certifications are
  accepted?
