Purpose:
To repeal and replace the Electricity Supply Ordinance, to provide
for the registration of electrical workers, contractors and
generating facilities, to provide safety requirements for
electricity supply, electrical wiring and products, and to provide
powers for electricity suppliers and the Government respecting
electrical accidents and enforcement of this Ordinance.
Subsidiary Legislation:
The Electrical Products (Safety) Regulation enacted in 1997
prescribes safety requirements for electrical products for
household use and requires suppliers to ensure that their products
comply with those prescribed safety requirements and requires the
issue of a certificate of safety compliance for every model of
electrical product and provides for the qualifications of a
recognized certification body or manufacturer for registration as
such.
