amilton Litestat has announced the opening of a brand new showroom and meeting room facilities at
Cannon Green in the City of London – just a short walk from Cannon Street Station, located on Bush Lane in the heart of the ‘Square Mile’. The new
Hamilton offices provide a key central location for regional customers wishing to review Hamilton’s latest solutions. Included within the showroom are demonstration boards for its modular smart lighting control and audio solution. Customers wishing to learn more have the option to sign-up for a free system training session at the newly- refurbished training facility in Mere.

showcase its decorative wiring accessories in a range of finishes and functionality options to illustrate the breadth of its designer product offering that blends form and functionality requirements. Also on display are samples of tailor-made designs, including multi-functional plates crafted specifically for the hotel sector.
18th Edition label U-turn welcomed by Bureau Veritas
the 18th edition wiring regulations. Published on 2nd July 2018, clause 514.12.1 of the BS 7671 – IET Wiring Regulations 18th edition initially sought to increase the font and size of electrical installation labels from the existing 17th A3 format. The change was due to apply to all new electrical installations from 1st January 2019. However, following widespread industry concern that complying with the new rule would prove unnecessarily costly and disruptive, the British Standards Institute (BSI) and Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) has now abandoned plans to change the label format. In a corrigendum published December 2018, which is an official notice to highlight and correct errors in the regulations, the BSI issued a U-turn, stating that the labels will remain in their original layout. Michael Kenyon, Technical Manager at Bureau Veritas, said: “As wholesalers

currently stock standard size labels, in the run up to the implementation of the 18th Edition, there were widespread industry concerns that complying with the change in format would require a complete redesign – a potentially disruptive and expensive process. Therefore it’s great news the BSI and IET have listened and decided against a change in labelling.”
