One for the sparkies: Is it correct that a permanently-wired ceiling fan installed more than 2.5m above the floor is not in an "earthed situation" under NZS 3500, and therefore doesn't need to be earthed?  I know it's not ideal, but does it strictly comply?

Think you mean AS/NZS 3000,yes should be earthed, Wall fans mounted over 2.5m don't have to be Pat tested.
