Please read below important rules and regulations that govern electrical installations at UK venues.
All contractors must be able to prove their competence whilst working on electrical installation ie. BECA registered, City and Guilds 2330 Pt 1 & 2 or JIB approved.
Adaptors are not permitted - however one 4 way trailing outlet per socket (max. 500w only) can be used. The flex on the 4 way must be no longer than 2m.
Each stand must have RCD protection.
Lighting circuits are not to exceed 1000w.
Any complaint regarding the installation must be reported to the official contractor in writing before the close of the event.
If there is no drawing supplied to indicate positions of electrical items – the contractors will install at their discretion.
If any lighting is shown in the centre of a stand please ensure there is a ceiling to the stand or that sufficient batten had been ordered from the stand contractor.
Tracks supplied by clients must be installed by the owner. The connection of the track to the electrical supply will then be made by the official electrical contractor.
Testing and inspection will be included on standard order form installations i.e. Socket outlets and spotlights. Where a Mains Supply only is ordered the stand contractor/exhibitor must be able to provide qualifications of competence and calibrated test equipment to enable completion of the on site paperwork to the satisfaction of the venue and local authorities.
