Warrants for caravans
Caravans connected to a 230V supply must hold a current Warrant of Electrical Fitness (WoEF). This is a four-yearly safety certificate that confirms a caravan’s electrical installation complies with New Zealand electrical safety regulations – enabling caravan owners to legally and safely plug into powered sites (e.g., campgrounds and home outlets via caravan leads). WoEFs can only be issued by registered Electrical Inspectors.
Waipā Networks offer this service. Associated fees are detailed in the table below.

Area classifications for services
* Urban: A WoEF service is classified as Urban if the inspection/call-out address uses a standard NZ Post postal address (not an RD/Rural Delivery address), unless the WoEF site is in a location we classify as Remote Rural (see below). Examples of Urban areas include central Te Awamutu, Cambridge, and Leamington. Some inspection locations in and around Pirongia, Tamahere, Ōhaupō, and Paterangi/Lake Ngāroto may also be classified as Urban if the inspection/call-out address has a standard postal address, rather than an RD postal address.
** Rural: A WoEF service is classified as Rural if the inspection/call-out address has an RD (Rural Delivery) address attached. Examples of Rural areas include many properties outside town centres in Ōhaupō, Ngāhinapōuri, Pokuru, Rotoorangi, Te Kawa, Honikiwi, Te Pahu, Te Rahu, Kaipaki, Pukerimu, Fencourt, Hautapu, Karapiro, Maungatautari, and parts of Pirongia, Tamahere, and Paterangi/Lake Ngāroto.
*** Remote Rural: Some WoEF inspection locations are classified as Remote Rural due to their distance from Waipā Networks’ headquarters. This increases travel time and service costs. All WoEF services in Oparau and Kāwhia are classified as Remote Rural, no matter their NZ Post address classification.
In all cases, the area is defined by the inspection/call-out address (where the WoEF is carried out), not the caravan owner’s mailing/postal address.
**** Travel time / mileage, and WoEF service fee. The stated fees apply to WoEFs completed within standard business hours, 8:30 am to 4:00 pm, Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays. Work outside of standard business hours may incur a surcharge, which will be discussed and confirmed before work is completed.
