2019Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas
It's been a year full of variety and challenges. From Solar PV systems to Spray Painting Booths to Dust and Gas Hazardous Areas to petrol stations, a Gin Distillery and a Flour Storage facility. The highlight would be our appointment as a Electrical Safety & Compliance Advisor to a nation-wide early learning institution - it's been a hell of a year and next year looks equally as busy. Thank you for your support and trust. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas.
New Zealand Electrical Inspectors Association
Taranaki held its first Ward meeting on the 12th of November in Stratford. The meeting was attended by 23 local inspectors. President Richard Gibbens gave the opening address followed by a presentation from Athol Gibson covering the TT versus MEN power supply arrangements. Vice-President Peter MacMillan was in attendance too and described how he was co-ordinating similar meetings for inspectors in the Waikato. He supported Richard's presentation encouraging attendees to become members of NZEIA. More meetings are planned for the Taranaki Ward starting with one on the 11th of Feb 2020 to be held in Stratford again. Anyone wishing to know more should contact Sam Ponga on 0274 456-459.
The final Executive Ward meeting for the year was held on Nov 20th in Palmerston North. The lead presentation by Ian Turner from Hamilton covered the inspection of Caravans, motorhomes and other types of relocatable electrical installations. He cited many examples of 'wrong' and 'often-overlooked' items. He also presented a sample of a checksheet he'd developed. This has become much sought after.
The meeting also heard that the Sponsorship program is temporarily suspended with 29 candidates currently studying towards becoming isnpectors. It is hoped that the program will be reopened sometime during the Q1 period of 2020. Anyone interested in the program should contact Athol Gibson via the NZEIA website: NZEIA.com
Standards NZ
Latest news coming from Standards NZ should come as no surprise. They've released a heck of a lot of Standards as being currently-under-review. It's a common ploy for them to publish so many, some quite contreversorial during the lead up to Christmas but this time the closing date for submissions is the first week of February.
