In mid September the Board wrote to in excess of 8,000 people involved in the security industry and formally advised that an electrician registration limited to electronic security installer has been established.
The registration permits the holder to:
- Undertake the prescribed electrical work associated with the installation of 230 volt ac security systems and subcircits in domestic installations,
- Disconnect and isolate existing subcircuits from switchboards for the purposes of ensuring the safe connection of cabling and security control panels to existing 230 volt subcircuits,
- Reconnect the above mentioned existing subcircuits,
- Replace fuse links
An electrician with a registration limited to electronic security installer can not work on switchboards other than for the purposes of circuit isolation/reconnection or fuse link replacement.
The Board has strongly advised electrical workers in the security industry who do not hold an appropriate registration to either become a trainee while completing the competency based training requirements or uplift a provisional licence from the Board.
An information circular covering the electrician limited to electronic security installer registration and details on how to apply for a provisional licence is available by phoning the Boards office on 0800 66 1000.
