About this event

The BS 7671:2008(2011), also known as the IET 17th Edition Wiring Regulations Amendment 1, published 1st July 2011, became the standard for all domestic and industrial installations designed after 1st January 2012. Stakeholders from professional engineers and electricians to lecturers and students can get familiar with the new sections and changes.

Amendment No 1 contains changes and new sections to align with European documents.
· Measures against electromagnetic disturbances - new section 444;
· Devices for protection against overvoltage (surge protection) - new section 534;
· Medical locations - new Section 710;
· Operating or maintenance gangways - New Section 729;
· Model forms for certification and reporting - Appendix 6;
What should we be aware of? How is our installation affected?

Additionally, a new suite of QCF qualifications is replacing the old NCF qualifications. (Example; City and Guilds 2394, 2395 and 2396 replaces 2391 Inspection and Testing of Electrical Installations.) What are they and how will stakeholders be affected?

Tony Cable and Darren Staniforth will answer these and other questions in this evening’s presentation.
