These Rules are administered by the Victorian Service and Installation Rules Management Committee. The committee comprises of representatives from AGL Electricity, CitiPower, Powercor Australia , SP AusNet and United Energy Distribution (UED). Committee advisers at the time of publication included representatives from Energy Safe Victoria (an independent statutory authority established through the merger of the Office of the Chief Electrical Inspector and the Office of Gas Safety) and the National Electrical and Communications Association.
The Service & Installation Rules (SIR) 2005 supersede the 1999 edition and subsequent July 2001 and September 2003 amendments. The Rules are applicable from 1 September 2005 and apply to all connections to the electricity supply networks operated by Electricity Distributors AGL Electricity, CitiPower, Powercor Australia Ltd, SP AusNet and United Energy Distribution within Victoria. They form the major part of these Distributors "reasonable technical requirements" referred to in the Electricity Distribution Code. The Electricity Distribution Code is applied under the Electricity Industry Act and is administered by the Essential Services Commission Victoria.
A purpose of the Rules is to provide its users with industry agreed specifications to assist distributors, retailers, customers and customers' agents to comply with their regulatory and electricity supply obligations, and to limit the need to reference the complex, extensive and expanding range of regulations and documentation relating to connection of installations to Victorian electricity networks.
United Energy Distribution requires all installations connected or to be connected to the electricity network within our distribution area to comply with these Rules in conjunction with UED specific requirements, as a condition for providing and maintaining electricity supply. However, there may be situations the Rules do not cover. These may include unusual connections, situations that have been inadvertently omitted, and alterations to legislation and codes.
A copy of the Rules is available on the Service and Installation Rules website
