National Codes, Titles, Elements and Performance Criteria

National Element Code & Title:

UEENEEG105A Verify compliance and functionality of low voltage general electrical installations

Element:

1. Prepare to inspect and test an electrical installation.
 

Performance Criteria:

1.1 OHS measures for the site are identified, obtained and understood.

           1.2 Established OHS risk control measures and procedures in preparation for the work are followed.

           1.3 Safety hazards, which have not previously been identified, are noted and established risk control measures are implemented.

           1.4 Documentation or deemed to comply standard on which installation is based is reviewed and understood.

           1.5 Appropriate personnel are consulted to ensure the work is coordinated effectively with others involved on the work site.

           1.6 Tools, equipment and testing devices needed to verify compliance are obtained in accordance with established procedures and checked for correct operation and safety.

           1.7 Preparatory work is checked to ensure no damage has occurred and complies with requirements.

Element:

2. Visually inspect and conduct safety testing on the installation.
 

Performance Criteria:

           2.2 The need to test or measure live is determined in strict accordance with OHS requirements and when necessary conducted within established safety procedures.

           2.3 Circuits/machines/plant are checked as being isolated where necessary in strict accordance OHS requirements and procedures.

           2.4 Wiring is checked for suitability for the environments in which they are installed and suitably protected from damage or overheating.

           2.5 Cable conductor sizes are confirmed as meeting current-carrying capacity requirements and voltage-drop and fault-loop impedance limitations.

           2.6 Protection methods and devices are validated as meeting co-ordination requirements for overload and short-circuit protection.

           2.7 Switchgear and control gear is validated as being appropriately rated and meeting functional requirements.

           2.8 Evidence that electrical equipment complies with safety requirements is cited.

           2.9 Earthing system components are checked that they are correctly located and conductors correctly sized.

           2.10 Marking on switchboards are checked for accuracy and clarity and comply with requirements.

           2.11 Mandatory tests are conducted to verify that: earthing conductor resistance is sufficiently low; insulation resistance is sufficiently high; all polarities are correct; and circuit connections are correct as per AS/NZS3000.

           2.12 Testing is conducted to verify that: fault-loop impedance is sufficiently low and residual current devices operates as intended as per AS/NZS3000.

Element:

3. Report inspection and test findings
 

Performance Criteria:

3.1 OHS risk control work completion measures and procedures are followed.

           3.2 Work site is cleaned and made safe in accordance with established procedures.

           3.3 Non-compliance defects are identified and reported in accordance with established procedures.

           3.4 Recommendations for rectifying defects are made in accordance with established procedures.

           3.5 Mandatory documentation is completed in accordance with established procedures.
