246 Testing of high voltage electrical installation work

(1) If electrical installation work includes the installation or alteration of a high voltage electrical installation, the licensed electrical installation worker carrying out that work must ensure that the electrical installation work is tested in accordance with AS 2067 to verify that the installation work complies with the design that was independently verified under regulation 205 after the work is completed and before it is placed into service.

(2) A licensed electrical installation worker who carries out electrical installation work on the earthing systems of high voltage substations or high voltage electrical installations must ensure that the work is tested after the work is completed and before it is placed into service to ensure that—

(a) the resistance to earth is not greater than is required by the design that was independently verified under regulation 205; and

(b) the earthing connections will maintain their conductivity; and

(c) the earth potential rise does not exceed that required by the design that was independently verified under regulation 205.
