A brand new and exclusive white label service has been launched by NAPIT for members. The new platform, NAPIT Leads powered by eSalesHub, has been developed over the past few months to help support NAPIT members in generating inbound sales leads.

NAPIT have launched a new consumer ‘emergency call outs’ preference on the NAPIT website to support those members who are still carrying out emergency repairs and maintenance and to also help consumers find a reliable and certified tradesperson during this difficult time.

In light of recent news with the development of COVID-19 NAPIT have made the decision for the safety of our members, visitors and staff to postpone some of the NAPIT EXPO Roadshow events.

The all new female only competition will involve a knowledge and skills test open to Level 2 female electrical student apprentices from anywhere across the UK. Runners up and the winner of the competition will receive a certificate, tools and a tool bag and a selection of prizes from partners including NAPIT and Scolmore.

Following the release of the 2nd Edition of the EICR Codebreakers publication, NAPIT donated a number of books to Electrical Training Trust (ETT) to be sold to help raise money for the Air Ambulance Northern Ireland charity. NAPIT generously donated £500 to the charity from proceeds made through sales of the publication.

NAPIT hosted three successful CPD seminars to members, electrical contractors and other organisations in Northern Ireland.

NAPIT are delighted that the latest version of the Electrotechnical Assessment Specification (EAS), has introduced minimum technical competence criteria required for carrying out Periodic Electrical Inspection and Testing.

Amendment 1 to BS 7671:2018 has been published today as a standalone, free to view version on Section 722 (electric vehicle charging installations only).
