2. Residential area means the geographical areas with households living concentratedly or with approved planning for households moving in to live. The geographical areas without any households living despite people and vehicles crossing, field areas or planted hills are not called residential areas.
3. Places regularly crowded with people such as markets, squares, hospitals, schools, place of fairs, exhibitions, commercial centers, entertainment areas, wharves, stations, railway stations and other public places.
4. State of maximum deflection of conducting wire is the state of calculation of conducting wire upon simultaneously impacted hardest by the affecting factors such as the current through the wire, ambient temperature or wind load.
Article 3. General provision on safety for electrical equipment and power projects
1. The design and fabrication of equipment of electrical project construction must comply with the technical regulations and standards or international and foreign standards which are applied in Vietnam with the permission of the local competent authorities and must meet the following requirements:
a) Electricity safety;
b) Construction safety ;
c) Safety of technologies using primary energy sources (hydraulic power, coal, oil, natural gas and other forms of energy);
d) Fire and explosion prevention safety;
dd) Regulations on environmental protection.
2. New electrical equipment and power devices domestically produced or imported must have quality certificate or goods label and quality registration consistent with the technical regulations and standards and other relevant regulations of law; must have manual with technical parameters, features, effects and other instructions for the users to prevent electrical incidents and accidents.
Article 4. Prohibited acts
1. Stealing or removing the guy rope, earthing wire and equipment of power grid, climbing on electric poles, entering power stations or safety protection areas of electrical works when not on duty.
