trical Plant and Equipment as under BGV A2"
(previously VBG 4) . In all other countries the
applicable national regulations or acts or
decrees are to be adhered to .
In terms of pressurized equipment, the con-
tractor must ensure that the system is tested
at regular intervals to guarantee that it is in
proper condition . The applicable national
