Frequently asked questions

Construction of urban electricity and telecommunications lines: 42.22.00 or electrical installation?
42.22.00 when you build the distribution infrastructure: urban and long-distance electricity and communication lines, laying of submarine cables. This is civil engineering work. Wiring and electrical installation inside a building is specialist work, under 43.21.01.
I build ground-mounted solar and wind farms: does it fall under 42.22.00 or rooftop photovoltaic?
42.22.00. Power plants, including solar and wind energy parks, are listed in the activities field as utility works. Photovoltaics mounted on a building's roof is a different activity, installation under 43.21.01. The distinction is plant-as-power-station versus system-on-building.
I build electric vehicle charging stations: this code or wallbox installation?
It depends on the scale. Building distribution and charging stations as utility infrastructure is 42.22.00. If you instead install a single wall-mounted charging point on a building, that is 43.21.01; standalone charging posts not connected to a building's electrical system fall under 33.20.09.
