Public:

Existing Fixed Electrical Installations (FEIs):

There is no cost implication to the public on adopting the new cable colour code. For existing electrical installations, the old coloured cables do not need to be replaced as a result of the change. Also the change is for fixed electrical installations, and so it will not affect or have an impact on household electrical appliances or electrical equipment.

Addition and Alteration to Existing Fixed Electrical Installations (FEIs):

The change in cable colour code does not affect existing FEIs. New coloured cables are used for addition, alteration or improvement to existing FEIs. The registered electrical contractors and workers should follow the guidelines published by this Department. There should be virtually no additional financial implications to the works.
