. ETCI achieves its objective of promoting electrical safety in electrical equipment and installations and encouraging an awareness of electrical safety among the general public through its publications. This is achieved through the preparation and publication of National Wiring Rules for Electrical Installations and of guides to their effective implementation in practice.

It is also achieved through the publication of brochures on precautions for the safe use of electrical equipment and appliances, for the benefit of the general public and of particular communities within it, such as those engaged in agriculture. Also Available Free of Charge: ET101:2008, Fourth Edition ETCI has issued an Amendments, Corrigenda and Errata list to ET101:2008, Fourth Edition. ET206A This publication is available as an A3 wall chart and can be included in your organisation's safety file.

The chart is an extract from the ETCI Good Practice Guide on the Management of Electrical Safety at Work and is intended to assist the electrical expert in drawing up a job description to safely carry out live or dead working on an electrical installation or electrical apparatus in accordance with the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007, S.I. 299 of 2007 (Part 3 - Electricity). ET214 This Guide is intended to provide specifiers, installers and users of RCDs with a better understanding of the application, selection and use of such products. This publication is intended for use as a guide only, and has no regulatory or statutory status and should therefore be used in conjunction with the current issue of the National Rules for Electrical Installations (ET101), relevant product standards, and I.S.

EN60439 - Low Voltage Switchgear and Control Gear Assemblies, where applicable. The Guide is limited to RCDs intended for domestic and similar use, having a rated voltage not exceeding 400V AC and a rated current not exceeding 125A. ET215 Since November 2007 statutory requirements are in place with regard to the maintenance, inspection and testing of portable equipment used in the workplace. This Guide is intended to help employers meet their statutory duties in this regard. ET218 This Guide is intended to raise awareness of electricity in the medical workplace.

It gives an overview of electricity and its use in the medical workplace setting. Electricity can be useful for certain medical interventions, particularly when applied in small, controlled amounts. However it can also be hazardous at unsafe levels of exposure. The Guide discusses electricity as it affects the human body, referring to beneficial aspects as well as not so beneficial aspects.

We explore electricity and its usage in the medical workplace, and look at important aspects of electrical equipment in medical practice, including mains and battery powered equipment. Some tips and guidelines for users of electrical equipment in medical practice are offered. Who should read this booklet? If you are a nurse, allied health professional, doctor, or a consultant, you should find this booklet useful and informative. Remember, the aim of this booklet is to highlight important messages about electricity in the medical workplace, and in particular: - the need to be careful in general when using electrical equipment in medical practice, and when connecting equipment to the electrical supply; - in patient areas, and in particular in cardiac protected areas, additional measures need to be observed. Users of electrical equipment in medical practice need to be more aware of the effects of electricity when treating patients in these areas. This publication was first introduced in March 2010.

Guideline on Managing Safety in the Use of Portable Electrical Equipment in the Workplace (ISSA (Electricity Section) Publication). The ISSA Electricity Section has published this Guideline which describes safe practices that should be followed by those involved with portable electrical equipment. The Guideline is not designed as a training manual, but contains information, best practices and general recommendations deemed appropriate for the safe use of portable electrical equipment.

NATIONAL RULES FOR ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS Fourth Edition ET 101:2008 Extracts from Amendment No.1:2011 22 June 2011 Page vi: Insert after 1st Paragraph: Section 710: “Medical Locations” was prepared by Technical Committee No.10 “Electrical Equipment in Medical Practice”. Page 61: 442: Foreword, Second paragraph, second line: Delete “sstem”, insert “system”. Page 69: Delete 462.2 and replace with the following: 462.2: A main isolating switch shall be provided for every installation, located within 2m of the main supply point. Where a premises contains two or more installations their means of isolation shall comply with the requirements of 539.2. Where the main isolating switch is located in a switch room, it shall comply with 539.3.

An installation is defined as one requiring a completion certificate in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 63. Page 74: 514.3.1: Insert the following sentence after the first paragraph:: This sub-clause does not apply to cables used solely for control circuits. Page 89: 523.6.3, third line, delete “ten per cent”, insert” fifteen per cent”. Page 99: 530.5.3: Delete the text and insert the following: A distribution board shall be located in a location where it is readily accessible. A distribution board located in a switch room shall comply with 539.

A wall-mounted distribution board shall be mounted at a height not greater than 2.25m measured from the floor to the top surface of the board. In addition, where a wall-mounted distribution board is mounted at a height less than 1.4m measured from the floor to the bottom surface of the distribution board, it shall be accessible only by authorized persons. Note 1: The intention of the third paragraph is to prevent ready access by young children (i.e.

In areas with External Influence Classification BA2 in accordance with Annex 51D). Note 2: This sub-clause does not apply in situations where an alteration consists of the replacement of an existing distribution board without alterations to associated wiring terminating there.

Page 120: Replace the existing Table 54A with the following: TABLE 54A: MINIMUM CROSS-SECTIONAL AREAS OF EARTHING CONDUCTORS Cross-sectional area of largest phase/line conductor S mm2 Cross-sectional area of earthing conductor of the same material as the phase conductor SE mm2 Cross-sectional area of earthing conductor not of the same material as the phase conductor SE mm2 S ≤ 16 10 k1/k2 x 10 16 120 70 k1/k2 x 70 Note 1: The largest phase (or line) conductors are the “meter tails” in domestic and similar installations. Note 2: k1 is the value of k for the phase (or line conductor) selected from Table 43A in Chapter 43 according to the materials of the conductor and insulation. K2 is the value of k for the earthing conductor selected from Annex 54B. Page 121: 542.4.1: add an indent: lightning protection system, where required.
