From July 1 2008, all commercial, domestic and industrial wiring installations must be designed, constructed, inspected, tested and certificated to meet the requirements of BS 7671: 2008 the new IEE wiring regulations.

This new set of regulations offers the first new edition of electrical standards since 1991 when the 16th Edition was first printed and enables the combination of new products & technologies into a safe electrical framework & it allows for continues harmonization with European standards.

St James Systems have undertaken a number of data installations since 2003. With wireless speeds being up to 20 times less than the speed of wired data cabling and with wireless networks being far more susceptible to environmental factors, a wired network is always preferable to a wireless one in a business setting. St James Systems have worked with a number of firms across the midlands installing networks for as few as 2 computers and as many as 200. We have recently worked with companies like JCB and with Alstom to develop and refurbish their offices and to enable the smooth, fast and efficient transfer of data between different members of the organisation.

If you are considering installing data cables, please ensure that they will be compliant to the new standards. Please call us if you are thinking of having any data cabling or electrical work done on the buildings within your organisation and we will talk you through. If you would like for us to arrange for an electrical engineer to visit your site and discuss your proposed changes, we will happily do so.
