About this item
**AS/NZS 3001:2008** is a standard that provides requirements for the **electrical installations in transportable structures and vehicles**, including caravans, motorhomes, mobile food units, and site offices. It is designed to ensure safety, reliability, and compliance in these unique and often mobile environments.
### **Purpose:**
The standard aims to protect users and property by defining the specifications for designing, installing, and maintaining electrical systems in transportable units and vehicles.
### **Key Features:**
1. **Scope of Application**:
- Covers caravans, recreational vehicles, mobile homes, and temporary structures used as workplaces or accommodation.
- Includes systems connected to mains supply or independent power sources (e.g., generators, batteries).
2. **Electrical Safety**:
- Outlines measures to prevent electric shock, fire hazards, and equipment failure.
- Specifies requirements for earthing, protective devices, and isolation.
3. **Design and Installation**:
- Provides guidelines for selecting appropriate wiring, fittings, and protective equipment.
- Addresses wiring practices specific to mobile environments, such as vibrations and exposure to environmental conditions.
4. **Testing and Inspection**:
- Defines inspection protocols to verify compliance with safety and performance standards.
- Includes procedures for verifying circuit integrity, earthing continuity, and polarity.
5. **Connection to Supply**:
- Requirements for connection to mains power or other energy sources, ensuring compatibility and safety.
### **Applications:**
- Recreational vehicles (e.g., caravans, campervans).
- Temporary accommodation units (e.g., site offices, portable cabins).
- Mobile food trucks and other transportable commercial units.
This standard is critical for manufacturers, electricians, and owners of transportable structures to ensure their electrical systems are safe, functional, and compliant with regulations.
