For this section, it is useful to have a decent grasp on the periodic test and inspection sequencing guidelines. Electrical Installation Condition Report Ultimately preventing a collision is the single most important thing. So, if the action of the give way vessel alone isn’t sufficient to prevent a collision or it takes no action at all, the stand on vessel must also take action. If a collision does occur, then both vessels may be found to be at fault to a certain extent. Get to grips with the rules of the road

The six-month transition period allows electrical contractors to understand and apply the changes outlined in the amendment. From September 2022, anyone working in the electrical sector must comply with the latest regulations set out in Amendment 2. Chapter 6.1 - new guidance on the provision of horizontal movement joints on masonry clad buildings and increasing cavity wall performance standards This is an entirely new chapter. Historically, utility companies have managed the public transmission and distribution network from the point of view of having central production adapted to demand variation. The objective of this chapter is to provide requirements, such that, low-voltage electrical installations are compatible with the current and future ways to deliver safely the electrical energy to current-using equipment either from the public network or from other local sources.Although a good knowledge of all COLREGS is essential, the steering and sailing rules set out in Part B (Rules 4-19) are the ones likely to be most significant to small boats operating in daylight, with good weather or restricted visibility. The first step to answering a real life problem or any exam question for that matter is to ask yourself. ‘What part of the book does this relate to?’ The book is set out in seven parts and certainly isn’t for the faint hearted. It is full of exactly what it says it is, regulations. But fear not, there is a logic that can be followed. Once you are able to navigate the sections of the book, you will be able to easily find your way around it and apply it to the scenario in hand. The seven parts are;

Part 6: What inspections and tests should be done to show it’s safe and the certificates to be used. Determine which ‘part’, sub-section and regulations within the 18th edition book the question alludes to. This is extremely important! COLREGS are quite simply the 'highway code' or 'rules of the road' when at sea. A commonly held misconception is that COLREGS are a guidance to help skippers understand who has right of way.Wrong. They are the law and a proven breach may lead to prosecution, even if a collision hasn’t occurred. This publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users are responsible for their correct application.

About the IET Wiring Regulations

NOTE 1: Completion of an electrical installation designed to the withdrawn standard can be subject to the contractual agreement between all parties involved. Regulation 651.1 defines when this testing and inspection is applicable, encouraging electricians to ask one key question: is the installation or circuit safe for continued use? Regulation Group 643.3 has been redrafted. The requirements for testing insulation resistance where equipment is likely to influence the verification test or be damaged has been clarified and reference is made to a 250 V DC test following the connection of equipment. Changes include the addition of new regulations (relocated from Chapter 53) covering the impact and the installation of heating cables. Chapter 82 - Prosumer’s low-voltage electrical installations The examination consists of sixty questions, and must be completed within two hours. This gives an average of two minutes per question. Candidates are allowed to enter the examination hall with a copy of the 18th edition bs7671 book. You should use the book in accordance to the questions asked. Time Considerations

Regulation 411.3.1.2 has been redrafted. The regulation now requires that in each consumer’s installation within a building extraneous-conductive parts that are liable to introduce a dangerous potential difference be connected to the main earthing terminal. Chapter 64 contains information on ‘Initial Verification’ and Chapter 65 details ‘Periodical Inspection & Testing’ guidance. Although these areas have substantial cross-over, understanding which subject alludes to which chapter is critical in composing a positive answer.The Wiring Regulations book is published by the IET and the BSI (British Standards Institution), who jointly manage a committee called JPEL/64. This committee is made up of representatives from across the UK electrotechnical industries, and is responsible for developing the Regs. Not only this, but the JPEL/64 committee has an obligation to engage with over-arching European and international committees (CENELEC and IEC), for the advancement of all standards and to support electrotechnical harmonisation across the globe. There have been some structure changes, including the introduction of a new chapter (chapter 46) and a rework of chapter 53. The wiring regulations have been regularly updated ever since to reflect both new developments in wiring and updated modes of best practice. They remained the responsibility of the Society who later became known as the Institute of Electrical Engineers. They now tend to be referred to by their acronym, the IET. Over the years, regulatory standards across nations and continents have become increasingly aligned. This began in 1981 when the regulations aligned with those of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). In 1992, the British Standards Institute ( BSI) formalised the wiring standards under BS 7671. More recently, the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization has harmonised wiring regulations further. Below is a full breakdown of the number of questions each ‘part’ of the book represents. Its worth noting that this information is also available in the City & Guilds handbook. Note the volume of questions referring to Parts 4 & 5 of the book: these account for a massive 48% of all responses required. This is unsurprising given the large amount of content in these sections, and individuals should allocate appropriate time to these areas when revising. Section breakdown
