We have more than 6 of the cheap Deta ones running. Been going well for 3 years now. A great product and should be standard at bedsides in motels.

In SA we are supposed to have Certificates of Compliance for any work done by an electrician. If it can be proven that an electrical fault caused a fire, and no Certificate, guess what, insurance doesn't have to pay up. Talk about got you by the Short and Curlies

Same here. But I have never had a sparky ask me to show them CoCs from previous work.
The sparky that did my shed left me a CoC, but the sparky that added a GPO to one line, and installed a 32A line and breaker for an induction cooktop only left me a receipt.
When an AC company sent their contacted sparky out to install the electrics for 2 new split system ACs in out house he put the two systems on the one line and breaker. When I saw this I queried it with sparky and he said it should be OK. I followed this up with the AC company. The AC company sent a supervisor out to see for themselves and agreed this was not correct and said they would fix it. I said thank you as long as the work was done by another sparky, to which the supervisor replied "He won't be working for us again".

It's not just electrics, I believe any work on gas appliances in QLD should also leave a Compliance Plate affixed to the Electrical meter box.... Never had it happen after several kitchen renos over the years.

Gas is a bit different. It can have an almost undetectable leak that could cause an explosion.
Most electrical work can be easily checked optically. Gas ... not so muchBob Willson
