The e-book provides information on the key amends and how these might affect electricians and electrical businesses. These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Changes to special location installations including solar and EV systems, which is an indicator that this area of technology is going to grow.<\/li>\n<li>Prosumer low voltage electrical installations and the need for systems that can both produce and store energy. This is a clear sign that future energy systems will need to work differently and have greater capacity.<\/li>\n<li>Installation requirements for fire risk buildings including escape routes and cabling.<\/li>\n<li>Removal of the CRL calculation and the increased need for surge protection.<\/li>\n<li>Requirement for new labelling in some circumstances, including the colour of functional earthing changing from cream to pink.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Nico Van Der Merwe, VP of Home and Distribution UK at Schneider Electric said: \u201cWith several amendments to the 18th Edition, we appreciate this can be a lot to digest and can present some immediate challenges.
