From 1 October 2023, NCC 2022 will require new developments to be fitted with dedicated electrical distribution boards and other infrastructure to facilitate future installation EV chargers for: 🔌 100% of car spaces in Class 2 apartment buildings, 🔌 10% of car spaces in Class 5 & 6 office & retail buildings; and 🔌 20% of spaces in hotels, healthcare, public assembly & industrial buildings. Ahead of these changes coming in to effect, the Australian Building Codes Board has released an Advisory Note providing guidance and recommendations to support the safe installation and management of EV charging equipment. The recommendations include fitting a master isolation switch that shuts down power to chargers, selecting chargers with the Regulatory Compliance Mark; installing bollards around charging points to prevent damage by vehicles; and providing signage in prominent locations which indicating the presence of EV chargers as well as block plans to assist Fire Fighters in identifying the location of chargers and the master isolation switch. A copy of the Advisory Notice can be downloaded via the following link: https://lnkd.in/gidb98YH Trying to keep on top of the seemingly endless list of regulatory compliance requirements and changes?
