Hi All, Australia has changed to 230 Vac from 240 Vac in 1980 in line with the IEC deciding to rationalise the 220V, 230V and 240V nominal voltage levels around the world to a consistent 230V. The voltage tolerance has been changed to +10/-6% due to this change so Australia did not need to do anything and was still in compliance. Australia adopted a 20 year plan to convert Australia from the nominal 240 volts to 230 volts, to align with European Standards. What is the current status in terms of voltage change? In addition, what are the specs on product (packaging, advertisement, etc.), the testing house and market surveillance positions to judge the product compliance – 230 or 240V?
