EAL Vocational Training Courses

EAL is a awarding body for engineering and related sectors offering a wide range of vocational qualifications for industry.

EAL qualifications are widely recognised as a mark of excellence and achievement.

16th Edition

The 16th Edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations has since 1992 been adopted as the British Standard (BS 7671) for electrical installation work. The regulations have since been superseded by the British Standard BS 7671 "Requirements for electrical installations" 17th Edition.

17th Edition

The 17th edition, released in January 2008, was made mandatory for all installations tested, designed or constructed after July 1, 2008. One of the more significant changes is (chapter 41) that 30 mA RCDs will be required for socket outlets that are for use by ordinary persons and are intended for general use. This improves the level of protection against electrical shock in the UK to a level comparable to that in other EU countries. The 17th edition incorporates new sections relating to microgeneration and solar photovoltaic systems.
