Electrical distributor CEF has announced that registrations are now open for its latest TechTalks series, running from May to July 2026. Delivered in partnership with the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), the free events will visit 25 locations across the UK, giving electricians and contractors practical insight into the upcoming Amendment 4:2026 to BS 7671:2018 IET Wiring Regulations.<\/span><\/p>\n

The IET will publish Amendment 4 to the 18th\u00a0Edition Wiring Regulations on\u00a015 April 2026. The update will introduce changes that affect how electrical installations are designed, installed and inspected, making it important for installers to understand how the new requirements will apply in practice.<\/span><\/p>\n

CEF\u2019s TechTalks aim to help electricians stay ahead of the changes, providing a clear overview of the amendment and what it means for day-to-day installation work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Returning to host the sessions are\u00a0CEF\u2019s Head of Electrotechnical Solutions, Darren Staniforth, alongside technical expert\u00a0Dave Austin. Together they will guide attendees through the key updates in the new amendment, explain the practical implications for installers, and answer questions alongside a representative from the IET.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each event will also feature an exhibition space where leading brands will showcase products and technologies designed to help electricians meet the latest requirements and stay compliant with the Wiring Regulations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Darren Staniforth, Head of Electrotechnical Solutions at CEF, said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWith a new amendment to the Wiring Regulations being introduced, it\u2019s important that electricians understand what\u2019s changing and how it affects their work. TechTalks are designed to break down the updates in a practical way, helping installers stay informed and confident when applying the new regulations on site.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Each TechTalk is CPD accredited and free to attend, with complimentary breakfast, refreshments, and free parking available at every venue;\u00a0<\/span>plus, the opportunity to purchase the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations at a discounted rate on the day.<\/span><\/p>\n
