Sets out requirements for the installation and operation of electric fences and their associated equipment. This Standard applies to electric fences powered by energizers supplied from all types of power sources. It does not apply to equipment that is capable of delivering an electric shock but is not associated with a fence, for example, cattle prods.

This Standard sets out requirements for the installation and operation of electric fences and their associated equipment both outdoors and indoors.It covers electric fences powered by energizers supplied from all types of electric power sources (e.g. batteries, solar cells, diesel generators and mains power).It does not cover equipment, not associated with fences, that is capable of delivering electric shocks (e.g. cattle prods).
