ABSTRACT
Whilst the Regulations apply to electrical installations in all buildings, there are also some indoor and out-of-doors special installations and locations that are subject to additional requirements due to the extra dangers they pose. This chapter considers the requirements for these special locations and installations, and whilst perhaps not being a complete list, it represents the most important requirements. Horticultural installations are also subject to the same wet/high Earth contact conditions, and for these reasons special requirements have been introduced for all agricultural or horticultural installation (outdoors and indoors) and for locations where livestock is kept (e.g. cow sheds, stables, chicken houses, piggeries etc.) plus food processing stations and storage areas for hay, straw and fertilisers. As a protective measure in agricultural and horticultural premises, the unearthed source shall have simple separation and shall be situated outside the conducting location.
