Outlines principles, guidelines and procedures for safe work on or near low-voltage and extra-low voltage electrical installations and equipment; provides a minimum set of procedures, safety requirements and recommendations to manage the hazards associated with electricity, specifically arc blast, arc flash, electric shock, and electrocution.

This Standard provides safety rules for optical fibre communication systems and associated materials and equipment.

Adopts ISO/IEC14763-3:2014 to specify systems and methods for the inspection and testing of installed optical fibre cabling designed in accordance with premises cabling standards including ISO/IEC11801, ISO/IEC24764, ISO/IEC24702 and ISO/IEC15018.

AS/NZS 3084:2017 is amended as follows.

Provides requirements and guidance for the design of stand-alone power systems with energy storage at extra-low voltage and used for the supply of extra-low and/or low voltage electric power in a domestic situation.

Sets out safety and installation requirements for stand-alone power systems used for the supply of extra-low (ELV) and/or low voltage (LV) electric power to a single load, or an electrical installation in a single residence or building, or a group of residences or buildings and associated items with switchboards to AS/NZS 3000 requirements.

Provides specific guidance to architects, planners, designers, engineers, builders, installers, maintenance personnel, building owners, managers and users in the planning and installation of physical pathways and spaces in and between buildings to accommodate the equipment and cabling infrastructure necessary for communications; to the extent that this is not adequately covered for Australian and New Zealand purposes in AS/NZSISO/IEC 14763.2:2014.

Sets out general installation and safety requirements for electrical installations of PV arrays, including d.c. array wiring, electrical protection devices, switching and earthing provisions.

Sets out requirements for electrical installations associated with marinas supplied at low-voltage a.c. supply systems (i.e. exceeding 50 V a.c. but not exceeding 1000 V a.c.

Specifies safety requirements for electrical installations in areas where it is intended that low-voltage medical electrical equipment will be used on a patient; it applies to new electrical installations and to alterations, additions and repairs of existing electrical installations.
