Good evening,
I was wondering if anyone has seen SWA cleats that would comply with the 18th edition reg 521.10.202 (i.e. not liable to premature collapse etc...)?
The data sheet for cleats produced by SWAonline say they are 'stable' between -350c and 1050c but they are still made of plastic...
I use my own MEIWC that I based on the NICEIC's version below:
Can someone confirm if the NICEIC are using the same certificate or if it has changed due to the 18th edition.
Also if it has changed, please could someone upload a scan on the newer version for me to use as a template.
thanks

Firstly, can anyone help with the following.

Hi Everyone,
Just a quick question, in the 18th edition wiring regulations book page 483 the schedule of tests results form it shows IR tests Live-Live & Live-Earth
Are they now going away from the Line-Neutral, Line-Earth & Neautral-Earth & just doing the combined test?

For those like me who don't use software to fill out their EICs, EICRs and MEIWCs (or write them out by hand), I'm pleased to present updates to my fillable/editable PDF forms, now pretty much...
It's probably been asked on here numerous times before, but can anyone recommend any 18th edition on-line courses? I'll probably end up doing the NIC one but if anyone knows better???
