NHIC pays tribute to its president B
aroness Diana Maddock, who died on 26 June, was a strong
advocate for social equality and energy-efficient homes and had been President of the National Home Improvement Council since January 2015. She was passionate about social
equality and effective government and regularly urged members of the Council to write to their MP’s to express formally how current regulations were not going far enough to reduce fuel poverty, support families, and protect the environment. In her final communication with the Council, Baroness Maddock
expressed her enjoyment at the time she spent with members over the years and commended the brilliant way the Council serves its members and the wider home improvement industry. NHIC chief executive Anna Scothern said: “Diana was a real champion for the NHIC and will be greatly missed. The work of the NHIC was enriched by her contribution and enthusiasm, something I am sure will be built upon further as a fitting legacy to her memory and motivation to those who follow. We are all deeply saddened by this news, and our thoughts and sympathies are with her family at this time.”
The NHIC represents almost 100,000 businesses, representing
hundreds of trades and sub-trades and delivering over 1 million hours of CPD training each year.
Schaffner publishes white paper on safety and EMC for EV charging
very strong growth in the coming years. Schaffner, the international leader in the fields of electromagnetic compatibility and power quality, has produced a Whitepaper for designers of battery and hybrid electric vehicle charging stations, providing guidance on key topics including safety requirements, EMC limit values, requirements for galvanic isolation in EV charging stations and options for customer-specific developments. By 2030, the number of electric cars is expected to increase tenfold, which will correspond to 20 million cars sold per year worldwide. 77,000 charging points are required for 1 million electric vehicles, including 7000 DC rapid charging stations. With 20 million cars sold per year, 140,000 DC fast charging stations would have to be installed by 2030. This is a challenge not only from an economic point of view, but also

from a technical standpoint. Inescapably electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) has a very important role to play in EV charging.
