The purpose of this document is to define the minimum technical requirements and provide guidelines for the installation of PV (solar) installations while considering the inherent electrical safety risks with solar installations. This document can be used together with the EIR (Electrical Installation Requirement, DES).

The safe use of portable power tools and their associated batteries is critical for maintaining a productive and hazard-free workplace. Improper handling, storage, or operation of these tools can lead to serious injuries, equipment damage, or fire. With the increasing prevalence of rechargeable battery-powered equipment, clear guidance is necessary to ensure consistent and safe practices across all work areas.

This document serves as a guidance and reference for safe handling, segregation, temporary storage, and preparation of batteries for eventual recycling or disposal through authorized channels once suitable infrastructure or export channels are available.
