"AS 2500 - Safe use of medical electrical equipment in health care" is an Australian Standard that provides guidance on the correct function, safe use and application of electrically operated medical equipment used in healthcare.

"AS 3003 - Electrical installations - Patient areas" is a mandatory Australian Standard that the responsible organisation/entity (Clinician) must adhere to for new installations or extensions.

Body-protected electrical area is where medical procedures by-pass natural skin resistive protection while an applied part of medical electrical equipment in normal use comes in physical contact with the patients.

Cardiac-protected electrical area is any medical procedure where an electrical connection is intended to occur to the left or right ventricle of the heart via an externally contactable insulated conductor such as a wire or a liquid-filled tube.

These standards require expert consideration for:

• Dental clinics

• Cosmetic injectable facilities

• Medical centres

• Medical imaging centres

• Private and Public Hospitals

• Hospices

• Nursing homes

• Physiotherapy clinics
