In Australia and New Zealand, electrical cable standards are developed and maintained by Standards Australia and Standards New Zealand under the joint AS/NZS designation. Two standards frequently confused in mining and industrial contexts are AS/NZS 1802 and AS/NZS 2802. Despite their similar numbering, these standards govern fundamentally different cable categories with distinct applications, voltage ratings, and performance requirements.
