health and safety standard incorporated into these regulation in terms of
reg. 5(1), complies with general safety principles of such standard or
 In case of alterations or extensions of existing parts of an electrical
installation complies with the general safety principles of such standard and
is reasonably safe and

5(1) and when carried out under his/her general control. (6)

1.2 Shall refuse to issue such certificate until that fault or default has been
rectified.

Provided that such fault or default in the opinion of the registered person
constitutes an immediate danger to persons in a case where electricity is
already supplied, he/she shall take steps to disconnect supply to the circuit in
which the fault was detected and notify the chief inspector. (4)

The standard frequency for AC. is 50 Hz. The use of other frequencies for special
purposes is not excluded,
 Circuits, other than the internal wiring of apparatus, that operate at voltages
exceeding 1000 V and are derived from an installation that has a voltage not
exceeding 1000 V AC,
 Any wiring systems and cables not specifically covered by the standards for
appliances,
 All consumer installations external to buildings,
 Fixed wiring in the power supply circuits for telecommunication equipment, signalling
equipment, control equipment and the like (excluding internal wiring of apparatus),
 The extension or alteration of the installation and also parts of the existing installation
affected by the existing extension or alteration,
 Fixed wiring needed to connect the various units of complex machinery that are
installed in separate locations,
 Equipment for which no standard is referenced,
 Replacement or maintenance of components, and
 Earthing arrangements. [10]

4.2 When all conductors in an AC installation are carrying their maximum estimated
load, the difference in voltage or the voltage drop between the point of supply
and any point of outlet or terminals of fixed appliances shall not exceed 5%
of the standard voltage or of the declared phase-to-neutral voltage. In the
case where reticulation is part of the electrical installation after the point of
supply, the 5% voltage drop shall be calculated to include the reticulation part
of the installation. (5)

equipment out of arm's reach are not permitted.
 The measures of protection by non-conducting location and earth-free
bonding are not permitted. (3 × 2) (6)
