It is a Queensland legislative requirement, under the Electrical Safety Act 2002 and AS/NZS 3000:2007 (known as Wiring Rules) (as amended), that electrical installations are installed and maintained to be electrically safe and fit for purpose. To achieve this, periodic electrical verification of installations is required to be completed on traffic signals, road lights and Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) equipment. Traffic signals and road lighting compliance to the Wiring Rules is via specific design and installation, therefore the generic testing regime specified for periodic verification cannot be directly implemented. To minimise effects on the asset and to provide an economical solution, only visual inspection and limited testing is recommended. This document details the recommended applicable tests. The procedures detailed within Appendices A – C are a guide only and alternative procedures can be specified by the region with consideration to local conditions and requirements. Due to the vast array of ITS equipment types, models, variations, etc., it is not possible to define a ‘standard’ testing regime to cover all ITS equipment. All testing on ITS equipment shall be in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations (if not available, confirm testing will not affect any sensitive equipment) and in accordance with associated legislation and standards.
