GETTING THE 18TH EDITION MESSAGE OUT With the publication of the 18th Edition of the Wiring Regulations, Hager is gearing up to ensure the industry gets the support it needs to get compliant. All parts of the electrical industry are affected by the changing regulatory landscape set out in the recently published 18th Edition of the Wiring Regulations. Both product manufacturers and professional electricians are now in the process of ensuring they are fully compliant – whether it’s creating new product specifications or understanding new installation responsibilities – once the regulations become mandatory from January 1 2019. It is a major milestone for the industry, as the 18th Edition looks to further improve current safety standards, provide clarification around existing regulations, and open the door for new technologies and methods to be incorporated in the future across the industry. Hager, as a leading product manufacturer, has for some time focused on ensuring that the industry and electrical contractors are supported through this period of transition, so that by the turn of the year everyone is fully up-to-speed with the new regulatory world.
