Question:

Please clarify the requirements for Type 1 (.af 15.4w) and Type 2 (.at 25.5w) Power over Ethernet wiring and how these are governed by the OESC.

i.e.

Do you need to be a licensed electrical contractor to install wiring that supports Type 1 and 2 PoE?

Is wiring for Type 1 and 2 PoE subject to ESA inspection?

Answer:

--- (AskESA)
Power over Ethernet (PoE) installations are governed by the general rules of the Ontario Electrical Safety Code (OESC) and in particular Section 16, Rules 16-300 to 16-350. It is electrical work under the scope of the OESC.

In addition, the work described is required to be done by a Licensed Electrical Contractor; there is no exemption in Ontario Regulation 570/05 for Power over Ethernet wiring.

Reference is to the Ontario Electrical Safety Code 27th Edition/2018
