Incidental work may include fault-finding on equipment or changing like for like equipment by disconnecting and reconnecting the fixed wiring. It does not include any other changes to the fixed wiring. Testing and tagging of electrical equipment must be carried out by a person with the relevant certificate of competency in accordance with the performance specifications of: Australian Standard 3760: 200 In-service safety inspection and testing of electrical equipment Australian Standard 3002: 1985 Electrical installations - shows and carnivals.
