				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)

. 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.
