The Classes of equipment, the associated Hazard levels and operating practices allowed within “unrestricted”,“restricted” and “controlled” areas differ.

It is possible to have a designated “controlled” area within a “restricted” area provided that operating proceduresprevent unauthorized access

UNRESTRICTED ACCESS Protective housing with open access

RESTRICTED ACCESS Protective housing with no public access

For electricity supply cabling installed inside buildings and operating at nominal voltages between 50 V a.c.and 600 V a.c. (120 V d.c. to 900 V d.c. to earth), the telecommunications cabling and electricity supply cablingthat are installed in the same compartment of cable management systems or surface wired shall be separatedby either:(a) a distance of not less than 50 mm;or(b) a divider meeting the insulation requirements of BS 7671;unless one or more of the following conditions is met:(1) the electricity supply cables are enclosed in a separate conduit or trunking which, if metallic, is earthed inaccordance with BS 7671;(2) the electricity supply cables are of a mineral-insulated type;(3) the electricity supply cables are of an earthed armoured construction;(4) the electricity supply cables are of a flexible double insulated type (e.g. kettle leads supplying 240 V mainspower to telecommunications equipment in cabinets).

Telecommunications cabling shall not be installed in any compartment of a cable management system thatcontain electricity supply cabling accessories with unshrouded terminals.

For electricity supply cabling operating at nominal voltages exceeding 600 V a.c. (900 V d.c. to earth), thetelecommunications cabling and electricity supply cabling shall be separated by either:(a) a distance of not less than 150 mm;or(b) a distance of not less than 50 mm, effected by a divider meeting the insulation requirements of BS 7671.
