The first amendment to the 17th Edition wiring regulations is due to be published in July and NICEIC is offering contractors the chance to gain an early appreciation of the proposed changes by running a series of special training workshops.
The one day workshops will cover all the expected changes and are being run at various venues across the country.
Those who book now will also receive a special early bird deal which will include a place on the workshop, a free DVD (safe isolation procedures) and a copy of the The IET Wiring Regulations 17th edition BS7671:2008 incorporating amendment No1 2011– all for the special price of £155.
Alan Wells, Certification Director at NICEIC, said: “The first amendment will have significant consequences for everyone involved in the design, erection and verification of electrical wiring systems.
“These workshops will give those who attend an early warning of what to expect and arm them with everything they need to know so they can go about their work confidently and in the knowledge that it will comply with future regulations.”
The new regulations will come into force on 1 January, 2012 and among the expected amendments are: the inclusion of a new electrical installation condition report that replaces the periodic inspection report, new sections in Part 7 relating to medical locations and operating or maintenance of gangways, a new section in chapter 53 which deals with the installation of surge protection devices, modifications to chapter 44 in relation to voltage and electromagnetic disturbances along with changes in chapters 51 and 52.
