Cross-Reference Table — AS/NZS 3000 vs BS 7671 vs IEC 60364 Key Clauses

Free download · A4 landscape, 2 pages

Engineers working across international standards waste hours hunting for the equivalent clause in a different standard. This A4 landscape reference card eliminates that friction with a three-column mapping table covering the most frequently referenced clauses across AS/NZS 3000:2018, BS 7671:2018+A2, and IEC 60364 series. The first page maps 25 key topics: voltage drop limits, protective conductor sizing, maximum demand calculation, overcurrent protection selection, isolation and switching requirements, automatic disconnection times, RCD requirements, cable installation methods, earthing arrangements, bonding requirements, cable sizing methodology, conduit and trunking fill, circuit segregation, testing and verification procedures, and documentation requirements. For each topic row, the table shows the specific clause number in all three standards — for example, disconnection times map to AS/NZS 3000 Clause 2.6.2, BS 7671 Regulation 411.3.2, and IEC 60364-4-41 Clause 411.3.2. The second page extends the mapping to specialist areas: motor circuit protection, transformer protection, surge protection device requirements, and hazardous area classifications. Where NEC equivalents exist for the same concept, they are noted in a fourth column. This card saves design review time on multi-standard projects, simplifies international code compliance audits, and is invaluable for engineers transitioning between standards jurisdictions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this cover every clause in all three standards?

No — it covers the 25 most frequently referenced topics that engineers need during design and compliance reviews. For full clause-by-clause mapping, consult the IEC 60364 series which BS 7671 and AS/NZS 3000 are both derived from.

What paper should I print this on?

Print on A4 landscape, double-sided (2 pages). Laminate both pages for desk reference. Some engineers bind this into their project standards register.

What standard does this reference?

Maps clauses between AS/NZS 3000:2018, BS 7671:2018+A2 (IET Wiring Regulations 18th Edition), and IEC 60364 series. NEC/NFPA 70:2023 equivalents noted where applicable.

How often is this updated?

Updated when any of the three referenced standards publishes a new edition with renumbered or revised clauses. Current mapping reflects the latest editions of all three standards.
