- what is certified electrical design?
- A certified design is part of the necessary risk management framework. This enables all parties that influence the safety of completed work to be identified – including their responsibilities, liability and accountability.
For a design to be considered certified when it is being relied on to install, test, inspect and connect installations it must demonstrate compliance with legislation and electrical safety. The design must also include the following:
• The designer must be clearly identifiable on the design, with the date and their signature,
• The location, or proposed location, must be on the design,
• The design should identify any standard the installation complies with or is intended to comply.
Electricity regulations mandate certified designs for high voltage installations and any installation being installed in accordance with Part 1 of AS/NZS3000. The establishment of the design can be made by:
• an electrician who will construct the installation,
• an electrician independent from the construction,
• a competent person,
• an engineer.
- what is an arc flash risk assessment?
- An arc flash risk assessment is a calculation performed by an electrical engineer to determine the incident energy found at each location which determines the arc flash boundaries and what personal protective equipment (PPE) must be used by the employee.
