The electrical wiring must be of adequate capacity to ensure overloading of the wire is prevented.

Wiring must be secured at least every 300mm (12 inches) and must not show signs of chaffing or the possibility of chaffing.

Do not place near a heat source so that it is likely to be damaged by that heat source

Conductive material (ie the wire) should not be exposed at any point which could cause a short circuit.
