NICEIC seminars present changes to the 17th Edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations

(28/09/2007)

The 17th Edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations (BS 7671:2008) is due in January next year. This contains numerous changes, many of which will affect current working practices over the next 12 months.

NICEIC is presenting the latest changes to regulations which will directly affect the way construction companies work in a series of seminars throughout Interbuild 2007.

The programme of seminars will help guide visitors through the transition period as easily and efficiently as possible, highlighting some of the major changes in installation practice and the various training courses and publications available to aid installers comply with the Regulations.

The seminars will also look at the Government’s decision to extend the Competent Persons Schemes initiative to Part F (Ventilation), Part G (Plumbing), Part J (Heating and Fuel Storage), and Part L (Energy Efficiency) as well as Part P (Domestic Electrical Installation). NICEIC will explain how they can support installers that may be required to extend their registration needs when working in these fields.

Throughout this seminar programme, NICEIC is also hoping to improve the understanding of the Periodic Inspection, which aims to assist electricians in the confident delivery of quality reports for their customers.
