17th Edition amendments

18-08-2010

Major revisions are being proposed to the 17th Edition Wiring Regulations, including more detail on medical locations, measures against electromagnetic influence and devices for protection against overvoltage (surge protection). There will also be a name change from IEE Wiring Regulations to IET Wiring Regulations. There are also a number of minor ‘tweaks’ being considered.

At this stage, these are proposals and any changes won’t be published until June 2011, coming into force on 1st January 2012.

For more information about these revisions Electrical Times magazine have produced a comprehensive article including a video. This can found on their website.
