(ii) circuits, other than the internal wiring of equipment, operating at voltages exceeding 1000 V and derived from an installation having a voltage not exceeding 1000 V a.c., e.g. discharge lighting, electrostatic precipitators;
(iii) wiring systems and cables not specifically covered by the standards for appliances;
(iv) all consumer installations external to buildings;
(v) fixed wiring for information and communication technology, signalling, control and the like (excluding internal wiring of equipment);
