General Annex of Technical Regulations of Electrical Installations – TREI
INTRODUCTION In accordance with article 2 of the National Constitution, the authorities in the Republic shall protect the life, honor, and property of all nationals wherever they may be, and of aliens in their jurisdiction. In this sense the Ministry of Mining and Ener gy as the ultimate authority in issues related to energy adopts the technical regulations intended to ensure the protection of the life of persons against risks that may come from goods and services related to the sectors it oversees. Knowledge of the physical laws that rule electricity in the last two centuries has allowed great technological progress and a high dependence on this form of energy. Similarly, this scientific and technological development has allowed to see how human, animal, or vegetable li fe has energetic processes associated mostly to electric manifestations, whose tension and current values are so small that make them easily alterable when the organism is subject to the interaction of electric power of greater magnitudes such as the ones applied usually in domestic, industrial, or commercial processes. Therefore, this regulation establishes the requirements that all materials, pieces of equipment and installations shall meet, as well as the compulsion to assess electric risks and take the necessary precautions in order to avoid that such risks are materialized into incidents or accidents. Knowing and following such requirements will be the best choice to take advantage of electricity without it causing harm. The following general principles that orient risks management are considered: equality, protection, social solidarity, self-preservation, participation, cultural diversity, public or social interest,
caution,
environmental
sustainability,
gradualness,
coordination,
concurrence,
subsidiarity, and timely information. We hope that all inhabitants of the national territory support management of electric risks and act under the aforementioned principles, both in the personal and in the social aspects, applying them to the goods used in electri cal installations and in procedures pertaining to design, construction, operation, and maintenance services of those installations. The present scheme of world commerce does not allow unnecessary restrictions to the market of goods and services, and only those which safeguard common legitimate interests of the country may be accepted provided that they are made through technical regulations subject previously to public discussion, to international notification, and its publication. With such conditions, It is mandatory to comply with the technical regulations within the country that issues them. The Technical Regulations of Electrical Installations – TREI – establishes the requirements that ensure the legitimate goals of protection against electric risks. To do this, the essential foundations that define the scope of application and basic characteristics of electrical installations have been compiled, as well as some requirements that may have incidence in the r elations among people interacting with electrical installations or among the service and the users of electricity. It is expected that when applying such tenets with ethics, awareness, and discipline by all people involved, the users of goods and services related to electricity as well as the people performing them are exempt from electric risks. For the purposes of this regulation, the words must and have to, as verbs and their conjugations shall be understood as “ be obliged to”. The Ministry of Mining and Energy appreciates the participation of Colombian professionals in the field of electro-technology, companies in the electricity sub-sector, guilds related to it, and the academic institutions for their valuable contributions in order to complement and improve the TREI, especially engineer Favio Casas Ospina and his work team for their commitment and dedication to this project.

GENERAL ANNEX OF TREI – RESOLUTION 90708 OF AUGUST 30, 2013 WITH AMENDMENTS
CHAPTER 1 GENERAL PROVISIONS SECTION 1. PURPOSE The fundamental purpose of this regulation is to establish the measures in order to ensure safety of people, of life both in animal and vegetable forms, and preservation of the environment by preventing, minimizing, or eliminating risks of electric nature without prejudice to the compliance of civil, mechanical, and equipment manufacturing r egulations. Additionally, it outlines the demands and specifications that ensure safety of electrical installations based on their good operation, reliability, quality, and proper use of products and equipment; that is to say, it sets the minimum safety parameters for electrical installations. Similarly, it is a technical-legal instrument for Colombia which allows to guarantee that installations, equipment and products used in the generation, transmission, transformation, distribution, and use of electric power comply with the following objectives without creating unnecessary obstacles to trade or free-enterprise:
Protection of human life and health.
Protection of animal and vegetable life.
Preservation of the environment
Prevention of practices that may induce error to the user.
To comply with these legitimate goals, this regulation was based on the following specific objectives: a. To set the conditions in order to avoid accidents by direct or indirect contact with energized parts or electric arcs. b. To set the conditions in order to prevent fires and explosions caused by electricity. c.
To set the conditions in order to avoid burning of trees caused by closeness to mains.
d. To set the conditions to avoid death of people and animals caused by electric fences. e. To set the conditions to avoid damages due to overload and overvoltage. f.
To adopt the symbols to be used by professionals in electrical technology.
g.
To minimize deficiencies in electrical installations.
h. To establish clearly the responsibilities to be complied by designers, builders, technical auditors, operators, inspectors, owners, and users of electrical installations, besides the manufacturers, importers, distributors of materials or equipment, and legal entities related to the generation, transforming, transport, distribution, and commercialization of electricity; inspection bodies, certification bodies, testing and assays laboratories. i.
To unify the essential safety requirements for the most used electrical products, in order to ensure the best reliability in their operation.
j.
To prevent actions that may induce error to the users, such as the use or diffusion of incorrect or false indications, or omission in the compliance with the requirements of this regulation.
k.
To demand reliability and compatibility of products and electrical equipment.
l.
To demand requirements in order to contribute to the reasonable and efficient use of energy, thus protecting the environment and ensuring elect ric supply.
SECTION 2. FIELD OF APPLICATION This regulation applies to electrical installations, products used in them, and people intervening them, under the following terms:
2.1
INSTALLATIONS
For the purposes of this regulation, the term electrical installations refers to electrical circuits with their components, such as conductors, equipment, machines, and devices that make up an electrical system and that are used for the generation, transmission, transforming, distribution, or final use of electric power, either public or private; that are within the limits of voltage and frequency established herein, that is to say, nominal voltage greater or equal than 24V in direct 8
GENERAL ANNEX OF TREI – RESOLUTION 90708 OF AUGUST 30, 2013 WITH AMENDMENTS
current (DC) or more than 25V in alternate current (AC) with nominal service frequency lower than 1000 Hz. The requirements of this Regulation apply to electrical installations constructed after the Regulation has become effective. They also apply to the expansions and renovations. For st
installations constructed after the 1 of May, 2005, the owner or holder thereof shall apply the provisions of the TREI in force on the date of construction; and for those prior to the 1
st
of May,
2005, ensure that they do not represent high risk for health or life of people and animals, or that they do not harm the environment, otherwise, corrections to eliminate or mitigate the ris k must be made.
1
The technical requirements and prescriptions of this reg ulation will be of mandatory compliance in Colombia, for all electrical installations used in the generation, transport, transforming, distribution,
and
final
use
of
electricity,
including
those
feeding
equipment
for
telecommunications signals, home appliances, vehicles, machines, tools, and other pieces of equipment. In case that the former conditions are altered by force majeure or public disturbance, the owner or holder of the installation must seek to restore safety conditions in the shortest time possible. Installations must be constructed in such a way that hazardous energized pieces are not accessible to non-qualified persons, and accessible energized pieces must not be hazardous, both in normal operation and in case of failure. 2.1.1
Conformity of the installation.
In order to determine the compliance of electrical installations with the TREI, besides the requirements under Chapter 10 herein, the following guidelines must be followed: a. Every installation subject to the TREI must prove its compliance by means of the Statement of Compliance signed by whoever executes directly the construction, renovation, or expansion of the electrical installation. In the cases where Full Certification is required, it shall be understood as the Statement of Compliance accompanied by the Inspection Report issued by the inspection body accredited by ONAC, validating such statement. b. The Grid Operator, the energy supplier or whoever provides the service in the area must neither energize the installation nor provide the energy service if the owner or holder of the installation does not prove compliance with the TREI. Similar treatment will be given to installations that, although having the certification at the time of conducting the technical visit for their energizing, provide evidences of non compliances with this regulation that may have high risk or imminent hazard on health or life of people or the safety of the installation itself and neighboring buildings. Shall any event or accident occur after commissioning the electrical installation, the causes must be investigated and people responsible for the abnormality must be sanctioned by the competent surveillance and control bodies. c.
In the event that an installation is energized and it does not show compliance with this regulation, the company that provides the service shall be liable for the effects derived from that fact. Consequently, the Superintendence of Public Utilities may impose sanctions, once the corresponding investigations are conducted, in accordance with article 81, Act 142 of 1994.
d. People responsible for expansions or renovations that do not comply with the requirements set forth in the TREI, exposing other people’s health or life to high risk or imminent hazard, shall also be investigated and sanctioned by the competent surveillance and control body. Similarly, the accredited bodies which issued the certification of the installation without compliance of the requirements shall be investigated and sanctioned.
2.2
PEOPLE
This Regulation shall be observed and complied by all individuals or legal entities, domestic or foreign, contractors or operators that generate, transform, or distribute electric power, and in 1
Paragraph amended by Resolution 90907, October 25, 2013.
