To make a mistake is human, to learn from that mistake is knowledge and knowledge is strength.
it can be a hair-raising experience
I don't know much about electrical fences, and have never Installed one.
Who can provide a certificate for this? Or are guys with wiremans licenses such as myself able to sign these off?
Or.... am I asking you the question that you asked? Lol
Installers with 2years experience have been allowed to apply for accreditation to certify them. Before certifying the premises where one has already been installed I always check it myself because they are not up to speed with all the regs. I have come across some scary certified fences and by refusing to certify the house I have put pressure on the seller to get the fence installer to make sure that the fence actually does comply.

A customer asks you to install a single socket outlet.
If a fence company installs an electric fence and you are requested to install a single socket outlet, do you become responsible for the entire electric fence installation?
Comments are based on opinion...not always facts....that's why people use an alias.
The extent of your liability is the installation described in Section 3 which would be the socket outlet circuit you installed.
How ironic, this post is up.
I noticed an electric fence installed in my complex by a resident.
Small (1/2 m). It is on Ground level.
It has a sign to ,however, small children cannot read.
Without derogating form the fact that adults must keep an eye etc, it still poses a risk.
Are there specific rules about this?
As an example, a fence on the outside of a property is understandable. The owner of the fence must look after their child.
It is not unreasonable to think that nay child on teh road is old enough to read and understand or smaller are accompanied by adults.

You say inside a complex and that tells me that the Body Corp needs to approve it before it can be erected. As it borders on communal property I would say no it is not acceptable from a common sense point of view even before looking it up. The strength of it would also come into question. If it is weak enough "pet friendly", it might be acceptable.
