I agreed broadly with the sentiments outlined above in relation to ensuring residents have complying equipment that meets Australian standards – the same with any other product they buy really. There is an onus on personal responsibility here.
If there is a fire and suspect chargers are the likely cause then the fire services will investigate as will insurers to determine liability.
The best we can do as active strata owners is ensure we have by-laws/rules in place to ensure residents are aware of their obligations that any equipment they bring into the complex complies with relevant Australian standards whether its gas bbq’s, lighting, lamps, tv, any sort of charger or battery.
Owners corporations would probably be well advised to undertake a “test and tag” activity to identify all component plugged into outlets on common property is identified.
