AS/NZS 3002:2021 Electrical installations - Shows, carnivals and events
Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand
Supersedes: AS/NZS 3002:2008 Electrical installations - Shows and carnivals
Draft Designation: DR AS/NZS 3002:2020This edition was prepared to update requirements for the use of electricity for lighting and power in concessions, stands, tents, booths and other shows carnivals and event structures and areas associated with shows, carnivals, events and the like in conjunction with the issue of AS/NZS 3000:2018. It is to be noted that some States have legislation that calls up additional requirements to those contained in this Standard.
This Standard differs from AS/NZS 3002:2008 in several areas including the following:
(a) The structure of this Standard is similar to AS/NZS 3000 with respect to the flow of information contained within.
(b) Shows, carnivals and events, public events and limited domestic events are encompassed.
(c) Section 2 provides requirements for electrical installation wiring.
(d) Section 3 provides requirements for event wiring, equipment and appliances that are present during the event only.
(e) The requirements around the use of three-pin plug adaptors (tapon, piggyback or similar fittings) have been added to ensure the safety of their use.
(f ) There is an emphasis on electrical safety at shows, carnivals and events.
(g) A number of appendices from AS/NZS 3000:2018 are provided as reference material.
(h) Specific requirements are included for periodic assessment of events installations in Appendix C.
(i) Guidance is provided for initial and periodic verification of event wiring.
This Standard may be applied through legislative requirement, from a date to be set by the relevant regulatory authority. If work on an installation was commenced before publication of this edition, refer to the relevant authority regarding permission for the installation to be completed under AS/NZS 3002:2008 as applicable.
The terms “normative” and “informative” have been used in this Standard to define the application of the appendix to which they apply. A “normative” appendix is an integral part of a Standard, whereas an “informative” appendix is only for information and guidance.
See Foreword for information on how to interpret and use this Standard.
