17th Edition, What’s Changed?

From the 1^st January 2012 the 17^th Edition First Amendment, published in July 2011, came into force.

Those electricians who carry out work that requires conformity to 17^th Edition will need to update their skills to ensure they stay within the regulations.

This is important to ensure that any work carried out is safe and conforms to legal requirements.

The course to qualify an electrician to 17^th Edition Amendment 1 standard is called the City and Guilds 2382-12 17^th Edition Amendment 1. It covers all aspects of the 17^th Edition Regulations including the new sections set out in Amendment 1.

These new sections include the following:

• Section 444 Measures against electromagnetic disturbances
• Section 534 Devices for protection against overvoltage (surge protection)
• Section 710 Medical locations
• Section 729 Operating or maintenance gangways
• Appendix six Model forms for certification and reporting.
