To all Voltimum users - Seasons Greetings,

To refresh your memories of the past VoltiBULLETIN year we present a round-up of the best VoltiBULLETINs of 2007. Also, there is another chance to revisit any of the CPDs you didn't get round to taking first time.


Season Greetings!

December 2007

Dear User,

Christmas is almost upon us again already, and what a year it has been. Voltimum UK has been going from strength-to-strength, and in terms of 2007’s VoltiBULLETINs, we’ve covered a broad sweep of highly topical technical subjects, from BS5839 (fire alarm standard) and the Fire Safety Order, through busbars, advances in LEDs for general lighting, the latest renewable energy regulations and products, to the WEEE & RoHS Directives and generic cabling systems for ‘smart homes’. All this, plus a lot more besides, found its way into the 2007 VoltiBULLETINs. And, with 2008 beckoning, and the 17th Edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations just round the corner, next year is looking set to be even busier.

The first few VoltiBULLETINs of 2008 will be all about the 17th Edition, so keep your eyes peeled. In the meantime, all of us at Voltimum UK thank our Partners and many users for their support, and wish them very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
