Persons who manufacture connectable installations must ensure that any electrical installation in a vehicle, relocatable building, or pleasure vessel complies with regulations 69(1) and 97(1).

With certain exceptions the installation and maintenance of conductors, fittings and electrical appliances is prescribed electrical work under regulation 17. As such, it is subject to a number of restrictions in the Electricity Regulations, including the requirement for it to be carried out by a suitably licensed person, usually a licensed and registered electrician.

The exceptions to the definition of prescribed electrical work are listed in regulation 17 of the Electricity Regulations. A PDF copy of the Electricity Regulations may be downloaded here from our website.
