Electrical Sign

A general electrical identification plate at 600 x 100mm horizontal, reading ELECTRICAL with unauthorised entry prohibited beneath.

This is the plate for a cupboard or riser containing electrical services where a more specific legend would be wrong — not the main switch room, not a distribution board, not a metered cupboard, just electrical. On a floor plan these show up as a narrow cupboard off a corridor, and they are the ones most often left unmarked because nobody is quite sure what to call them.

Composite ACM in white or silver brushed at $35, satin natural anodised aluminium at $40.

Electrical installations are governed by AS/NZS 3000. The practical test for whether a door needs one of these is simple: if opening it exposes a person to electrical equipment they are not qualified to work on, it needs identifying from the outside. Where you know what the room actually is, use the specific legend instead — the range covers main switch room, electrical room, distribution board and electricity cupboards separately for exactly that reason.
