Hi, I'm Mark Pocock from the Electrical
Safety Office. As you aware the Wiring
Rules are being updated so I wanted to
talk you through some of the key changes
to the requirements of sleeving of
conductors and the segregation of
different services, that will appear in
the next edition due for a lease later
this year. There will be changes to the
content of sleeving of existing earthing,
bonding and live conductors this
recognises existing installations where
bare earth green insulation or yellow
insulation for live conductors has been
used. When alterations, additions or
repairs are carried out that result in
new terminations or junctions
then the existing conductors can be
sleeved with the colors defined in the
new clauses. Requirements for different
electrical installations have been
altered in a new edition to provide more
clarity. This includes changes to the
common enclosure and segregation
requirements. These changes relate to
conductors for different installations
or for individual occupancies forming
part of a single or multiple electrical
installation that are installed in a
common enclosure. For further information
