In these regulations —
electrical work means —

to which electricity is supplied or intended to be supplied at a nominal pressure exceeding 50 volts alternating current or 120 volts ripple free direct current; and

where work is performed on or in relation to any appliance, whether or not electricity is supplied or may be supplied to the appliance through an electric plug socket or socket outlet.
