This document describes the methodology for the assessment of spaces, pathways, pathway systems and cabling (either installed or planned) in support of remote powering objectives.

This document is applicable to certain hazardous environments but does not exclude additional requirements which are applicable in particular circumstances, e.g. electricity supply and electrified railways.

This second edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:

(i) Inclusion of planning and installation practices to support remote powering over the telecommunications cabling infrastructure.
(ii) Inclusion of planning and installation practices outside buildings.

This document excludes specific requirements applicable to other cabling systems (e.g. power supply cabling), however, it takes account of the effects other cabling systems may have on the installation of telecommunications cabling (and vice versa) and gives general advice.

This document excludes those aspects of installation associated with the transmission of signals in free space between transmitters, receivers or their associated antenna systems, e.g. wireless, radio, microwave or satellite.

Safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements are outside the scope of this document and are covered by other standards and regulations. However, information given in this document can be of assistance in meeting these standards and regulations.

This document is an adoption with national modifications, and has been reproduced from, ISO/IEC 14763‐2:2019, Information technology — Implementation and operation of customer premises cabling — Part 2: Planning and installation. The modifications are additional requirements and are set out in Appendix ZZ, which has been added at the end of the source text.

Appendix ZZ lists the variations to ISO/IEC 14763‐2:2019 for the application of this in Australia and New Zealand.

As this document has been reproduced from an International Standard, the following applies:

(A) In the source text "this part of ISO/IEC14763" should read "this Australian/New Zealand Standard".
(B) A full point substitutes for a comma when referring to a decimal marker.

Australian or Australian/New Zealand Standards that are identical adoptions of international normative references may be used interchangeably. Refer to the online catalogue for information on specific Standards.

The terms “normative” and “informative” are used in Standards to define the application of the appendices or annexes to which they apply. A “normative” appendix or annex is an integral part of a Standard, whereas an “informative” appendix or annex is only for information and guidance.
