Home / Standard Requirements for Construction Site Electrical Distribution Box Boards
This fact sheet explains how to apply the requirements shown in AS/NZS 3012:2019 Electrical installations – construction and demolition sites (AS/NZS 3012:2019), which is called up as a mandatory standard by section 163 of the Work Health and Safety Regulation 2025 (WHS Regulation). IEC-60364 and BS-7671 Guidelines for Garage Units, Consumer Units, and Distribution Boards The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and the British Standard BS 7671 play pivotal roles in shaping the requirements for electrical installations. The downstream systems are conside-red mobile or portable and section 704 of the Italian IEC 60364-7 standard, in waiver to the general principal that considers the system limited to fixed installations, is applied both to the fixed. However, exposure to weather, frequent relocation, rough use and other condi-tions not normally encountered with conventional wiring systems necessitate special consideration not require in other applications or in completed structures.
As mentioned above, the most recent electric safety requirements for construction and demolition sites are provided in standard IEC 60364-7-704 and in the European Harmonization Document HD 384-7
