Electrical installations built in a garden, including luminaires and their associated cables, should be securely fixed and protected against accidental damage and attack by rodents. Surface-fixed cables should be fixed to permanent structures only and should be supported at sufficient height above the ground to avoid accidental contact with footwear and garden tools.

All equipment, including luminaires, must be designed for use outdoors and be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. The use of Class II equipment is conducive to electrical safety and is encouraged.
