Standards & legislation

It is always important to stay abreast of the latest standards and legislation which can sometimes be challenging to interpret and understand their application. However, as professionals we must ensure that truly compliant systems are being selected, specified and installed, particularly in buildings of higher risk. Such standards and legislation guide us to select new technologies that help address business goals and objectives, including protecting assets and people. In our final chapter, for this year, we’ll discuss pending changes across the electrical sector and review what this means for our markets.

In the final 2020 chapter of Eaton's online knowledge journey we explored the following key topics.

Please note, all of the following webinars are CPD accredited.
