             
             Be connected to incoming supply by a direct method (e.g.
             wired to terminals)
           Be of robust construction with a minimum IP33 rating
             (NSW) / IP23 rating (QLD)
           Have a door or lid which can be locked, is attached so as
             not to damaged cables / extension cords etc. and has a
             means of keeping the door open when required for
             electrical work.
           Have doors / lids fixed so they are kept closed except for
             access, need a tool to remove it (not slip hinges), are
             lockable;
           Be readily accessible, protected from damage and located
             within the site perimeter;
           Be positioned so that an appropriate flexible extension
             cord of suitable length can be used.
           Be securely attached to the floor, a pole, post, wall or be
             of stable or freestanding type;
           Have at least one (1) 10amp power point and at least one
             (1) 15amp point;
           Have a means of supporting electrical leads off the floor,
             i.e. lead stand, cross arm;
           Isolating switch i.e. “main switch”, “distribution board
             isolation switch.” “isolating switch after-hours supply-do
             not switch off”, must be marked as required by AS/NZS
             3000 in letters 6mm high in contrasting colour to
             background material;
           Additional switches clearly identified for final sub circuits
             intended to operate after hours, and emergency systems;
           Isolating switches provided with isolating device for
             securing in the open position;
           Lockable covers (made from non-conductive materials)
             provided over circuit breakers and RCD associated with
             outgoing circuits, but does which does not prevent access
             to isolating switches (unless the installation comprises of
             only one final sub-circuit, or includes or incorporates a
             combined mains circuit breaker / RCD as the main switch,
             in which case the fitting of the lockable cover is not
             required);
           On the cover of the RCD’s and circuit breakers marked “In
             the event of an RCD or circuit-breaker operating, the
             cause of any fault should be assessed by a licenced
             electrician before reset”;
