Our Technical Director, Matt Gilmore, has written an in-depth piece on the forthcoming BS 7671 Amendment 4, due for release in April — and what these important changes mean for the medical sector.
The article explores the key updates and how they will impact electrical safety, and compliance. With a renewed focus on medical locations, critical systems and patient safety, understanding these changes is essential for Estates teams, Authorising Engineers and Dutyholders.
