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 adopts ISO 22846-1:2003, which gives the fundamental principles for the use of rope-access methods for work at height; intended for use by employers, employees and self-employed persons who use rope-access methods, by those commissioning rope-access work and by rope-access associations.

This Standard adopts ISO 22846-2:2012, which provides recommendations and guidance on the use of rope access methods for work at height and expands on the fundamental principles given in AS/NZS ISO 22846.1, in conjunction with which it is intended to be used; intended for use by employers, employees and self-employed persons who use rope access methods, by those commissioning rope access work and by rope access associations.

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.

Specifies requirements and sets out recommendations for the selection, safe use and maintenance of industrial fall-arrest systems and devices based on the use of safety harnesses, horizontal life lines and rails, fall-arrest devices, and associated lanyards, connectors, anchorages and fittings.

Sets out a method for cable selection for those types of electrical cables and methods of installation that are in common use at working voltages up to and including 0.6/1 kV at 50 Hz a.c.

Specifies requirements for the design and installation of emergency lighting and illuminated emergency exit signage systems for buildings. Central battery, single point and self-contained systems are included.

AS/NZS 3019 sets out the requirements for periodic assessment of existing electrical installations which are connected to a low voltage a.c. supply system (exceeding 50 V a.c. but not exceeding 1 000 V a.c.). Inspection and/or testing is intended, as far as reasonably practicable, to determine whether the installation and all its constituent equipment is in a safe condition for continued use.
