  • Feedback – Exclusions List, ECP 46, Clause 1.1.9

    Posted by Stephen Albrecht on 12 May 2023 at 5:17 pm

    Further to the recent Live Work Forum in Christchurch, feedback was sought regarding what else could be added to the exclusions list in ECP 46, Clause 1.1.9.

    It was stated at the forum that “Application and removal line fault indicators.” was included in ECP 46 High Voltage Live Line Work – Industry Practice Note, on the basis that LFIs can be deemed to be equipment that falls into the category of “The taking of electrical measurements”.

    Interestingly, Clause 1.1.1 states “This Code sets out the minimum industry standards for high voltage live line work. The principles may be enhanced or supplemented, provided this does not result in reduced safety standards.”

    It appears the second sentence in Clause 1.1.1 may enable additional equipment to be added to the exclusions list in Clause 1.1.9 providing it does not result in reduced safety standards. Any such additional equipment would need to be based on the safety principles that apply to the current list of exclusions.
