Woef - Relocatable building permanent connected
Posted: Tue Nov 09, 2021 8:38 pm
This discussion came up at work..
Is a construction site porta-com/relocatable building that’s connected via installation wiring (rather than plug & socket) a ‘connectable installation’? And therefore a Woef is required IAW ESR78?
My understanding is this type of installation fits within the description for a ‘connectable installation’ as defined in the Act (it is a relocatable building) So presumably a Woef is a requirement?
I’m guessing it’s something that comes down to intent? The requirement for a Woef could be omitted if the installation were located where it’s intended to be permanent. But if the same arrangement were installed as temporary, at a construction site for example, then a Woef would be required?
If this is the case, would you just treat the items in Appendix C of 3001 that relate to supply lead, appliance inlet etc as non-applicable?
