Introduction
On July 2024, the South African Bureau of Standards published SANS 10142-1:2024 Edition 3.2 (Wiring of Premises, Part 1: Low-voltage installations), which superseded the SANS 10142-1: 2021 Edition 3.1.
SANS 10142-1 applies to the electrical installation of residential, commercial, public, and industrial premises, among other things. Compliance with SANS 10142-1 is also a requirement in the Electrical Installation Regulations, making it an essential standard for registered persons, designers, competent persons, and premises owners.
Understanding the compliance requirements and notable changes in the standard is essential for assuring the safety of persons and meeting legal requirements as premises owners and employers.
While reviewing the full standard is essential, a summary discussion highlighting some of its important aspects and changes is also needed.
Objective
The course aims to enhance the understanding of the new SANS 10142-1 amongst electrical contractors, designers, installers, manufacturers, suppliers, users, and distributors responsible for electrical installation.
The course emphasizes SANS 10142-1 compliance for mining, manufacturing, and construction companies. There is also a specific focus on the role of legal appointees such as the:
- Chief Executive Officer (CEO), OHS Act 16.1 appointee
- CEO delegate authoritative persons, OHS Act 16.2 appointees
- Registered Person as defined in the Electrical Installation Regulations
- Competent person responsible for electrical installation designs
- Mine Health and Safety Regulation (MHSR) 2.13.1 Appointees (engineer in charge at the mines)
- General Machinery Regulation (GMR) 2.1 (competent person appointee) and 2.7(a) Appointees
- Construction Regulation (CR) 8.1 (Construction Manager) and 8.2 Appointees
- Explosives Regulation (ER) 12.1 (Explosives Manager) Appointees
The course may also benefit persons preparing for Installation Rules Paper 1 and 2.
Learning outcomes
By the end of the course, you will:
- Understand the origin of SANS 10142-1 concerning the OHS Act and the Electrical Installation Regulations.
- Have an appreciation of the structure and content of SANS 10142-1:2024 Edition 3
- Have an appreciation of the changes introduced to SANS 10142-1 Edition 3
- Establish, implement, and maintain a system that can ensure the SANS 10142-1 compliance requirements are fulfilled
- Establish, implement, and maintain a system that can ensure the SANS 10142-1 fundamental requirements are fulfilled
- Establish, implement, and maintain a system that can ensure the SANS 10142-1 installation requirements are fulfilled
- Establish, implement, and maintain a system that can ensure the SANS 10142-1 special installation or location requirements are fulfilled
- Establish, implement, and maintain a system that can ensure the SANS 10142-1 verification and certification requirements are fulfilled
The short course doesn't verbatim (state information word for word) provide the SANS 10142-1 requirements. Instead, we summarize the requirements and emphasize how to establish systems to ensure compliance. This makes the course more practical instead of just regurgitating the standard's contents.
Course Approach
During the course:
- You will review the written and video content, presenting theoretical information and examples.
- You will progress through lessons in the stipulated order.
- You will watch at least 90% of the video content to progress to the next lesson.
- You will attempt the quiz assessments and score at least 70% to progress (maximum of five attempts).
- You will have access to sections according to the content that needs to be covered in the respective weeks of the course (i.e., not all content will be made accessible at once; you will need to go through the course following the scheduled content).
- You will be given time to complete and submit the class written assessments and projects.
- You will use the class written assessments and projects as your portfolio of evidence.
- You will receive the Certificate of Completion once you have completed 100% of the course and passed all quiz assessments.
