(1)
Types and
scopes:
(a)
Electrical repair
maintenance commercial (ERMC) permits. The scope of this permit includes
the repair or maintenance performed on existing electrical systems in
commercial facilities. Repair and maintenance means work that is necessary to
maintain an established, approved electrical, which work is required to keep
the system operating in its original approved function and configuration.
Repair and maintenance includes a like-for-like exchange of a portion or
portions of an approved electrical system, but does not include work on systems
that are generally considered in the industry to be related to be life safety
systems, or work that entails new construction, relocation, expansion or
alteration of an electrical system or any portion thereof. Life safety systems
include systems intended to protect the occupants of the structure such as fire
protection, controls for smoke evacuation systems, energy, and egress lighting
systems, except replacement of light bulbs and batteries in emergency lights
and exit signs.
(b)
Mechanical repair maintenance commercial (MRMC) permits . The
scope of this permit includes the repair or maintenance performed on existing
mechanical/plumbing systems in commercial facilities. Repair and maintenance
means work that is necessary to maintain an established, approved
mechanical/plumbing system, which work is required to keep the system operating
in its approved function and configuration. Repair and maintenance includes a
like-for-like exchange of a portion or portions of an approved
mechanical/plumbing system, but does not include work on systems that are
generally considered in the industry to be related to be life safety systems,
or work that entails new construction, relocation, expansion or alteration of a
mechanical/plumbing system or any portion thereof. Life safety systems include
systems intended to protect the occupants of the structure such as fire
protection and smoke evacuation systems.
(c) General construction repair and
maintenance work that is required as a direct consequence of, or that is
necessary to, work performed pursuant to a commercial annual permit is
considered incidental work and is authorized under the ERMC and the MRMC
permits. All such general construction work must be reported pursuant to
Paragraph (6), below, and whether or not general construction work is covered
by commercial annual permit will be determined by the division. If there is a
question as to whether general construction repair and maintenance is
incidental work and therefore allowed within the confines of an annual permit,
the permit holder shall contact the general construction bureau chief to
determine if the work properly falls within the annual permit. General
construction work that is not covered by a commercial annual permit will
subject the permit holder to penalties as provided in the Act and the CID
rules.
