NICEIC and ELECSA’s latest TechTalk series has reportedly attracted record crowds as contractors prepare for the upcoming introduction of the 18th Edition.
More than 3,000 contractors have now booked to attend one of the 23 regional shows. The NICEIC and ELECSA team are gearing up for the second part of the series, which will see them visit nine more locations.
Darren Staniforth, Senior Technical Development Manager for NICEIC and ELECSA, commented: “Come January, all electrical contractors in the UK will have to work from the 18th Edition of BS7671.
“Because of this we are seeing more and more contractors coming to our events to update their knowledge and make sure they have an understanding of the changes.
“TechTalks are a perfect way for contractors to get an overview of what they need to know and ask us any questions they might have about how it applies to their day to day work.”
More than 200 contractors attended each event in Manchester, Norwich and Chelmsford with other locations also proving popular.
In addition to the 18th Edition, Darren and the team will take a look at other aspects of the electrical industry and how that could affect the way contractors work in the future. This will include talks on EICRs in rented properties, electric vehicle charging points and things to consider when designing heating installations.
Darren added: “TechTalks are a great opportunity for sparks to get together and have a chat about what is going on in the industry. The crowds have been great so far and I would suggest to anyone who hasn’t been already to book their ticket fast.”
Tickets cost £25 and can be booked online at www.shop.niceic.com/events or by calling 0333 015 6626. For further information about the TechTalk series, email [email protected].
