What it regulates
Approves four instructions under chapter IX of the mining regulation: terminology, common rules, underground installations and potentially explosive atmospheres.
Who it applies to
IET-ITC 09.0.01–09.0.04. Applicability depends on whether an installation is new, substantially altered or presents a serious risk identified by the mining authority.
Key provisions
Covers new installations and their alterations and extensions. For earlier installations, substantial repairs or alterations affect the part worked on, without automatically subjecting the entire installation to the new regime.
Article 2Work affecting more than 50% of installed power, complete lines, new circuits or switchboards is substantial, even if power is reduced. The authority may require adaptation where there is serious risk through a reasoned decision.
Article 2Common requirements are supplemented by specific rules for underground workings and explosive atmospheres. Design, protection, earthing, documentation, commissioning and maintenance must be checked for the installation concerned.
IET-ITC-09.0.02The inspection regime applies to all installations. For earlier installations outside the adaptation cases, technical inspection criteria remain those of the regulations under which they were approved.

Transitional provisions and application notes
The new instructions entered into force on 17 October 2018, one year after publication on 17 October 2017. Publication must not be used as their general obligation start date.
Final provision thirdThe transitional provision preserves the listed earlier ITCs for existing installations to which the new instructions do not apply. The order therefore does not indiscriminately repeal all earlier electrical ITCs.
