This Safety Instruction defines rules and other preventive measures for cable fires. It lists the most common fire risks for cables and conduits. Mandatory precautions are specifically aimed at preventing cable fires in physics experiments where confined spaces, higher vicinity risks and lack of effective electrical protections add up to an increased risk of ignition.

Description of the two types of emergency stops (general and local emergency stops), the definition of the buildings or areas to be equipped, and effects due to these emergency stops on power supplies or accelerators. Exceptions and rules for safety equipment.

The aim of this code (based on the most recent IEC or CENELEC standards) is to establish regulations for the construction, installation and use of electrical equipment which guarantee the protection of personnel and property, and applies to all persons under the Director-General's authority, including contractors and experimental groups, and to all electrical equipment and installations on all sites. Personnel qualifications, choice of equipment and inspections are some of the subjects dealt with.

This Safety Guideline is intended to set out advice relating to the design, installation and maintenance of Safety lighting installations in buildings (or institutions) not receiving public.
