There are over 200 changes that will be presented at the conference and there is a preponderance of technical updates that are essential for you to be aware. The committee may or may not accept the document for various reasons and any negative votes must be reconciled before it moves to a publishing phase. The document is being readied for Committee Ballot. Incidentally there have been many comments that make plenty of sense but further work is need to refine them, so these we are consigning to Amendment 1. You may not get what you wanted but you have a right to view the resultant committee decision after this resolution process. Over 2000 comments have been received and reviewed by the committee who have resolved these as an “agreed”, “not agreed” or “noted” comment. Yes, that is right each one of the electrical industry stakeholders, from the biggest businesses to the one-man show, had an opportunity to review and provide comment for the Wiring Rules committee to consider. This is a predetermined part of the standards development process and not surprisingly it is named the Public Comment phase. This will also provide a unique insight into the actual intent behind the amendments.Ī finalised draft was issued for Public Comment early in 2016. This workshop is intended to provide an opportunity to work through those amendments clause-by-clause and discuss the reasoning with the Chair of the Wiring Rules committee. Is your business prepared for these amendments? The new and revised Wiring Rules should be ready for publishing by May/June 2018. Whether you are an electrical contractor or an electrical engineer, the changes to each clause in a revision of the Wiring Rules affect your compliance with State legislation. The Wiring Rules affect your businesses every day.
