What industry sectors are covered by CPRs?
CPRs cover all sectors that involve cabling work, including telephone, data, fire and security alarm systems cabling, that connects or is intended to connect with the telecommunications network. This work must be performed by a registered cabler, or under the direct supervision of a registered cabler. All registered cablers are required to undertake appropriate training modules to ensure that they are competent to perform the cabling work according to the Wiring Rules, which ensures safety to consumers, cablers and the network. Under the registration system there are no longer exemptions for individuals performing cabling work in the security, fire and computer data industries (these were exempt prior to October 2000).
