The new AREI 2020 Low-voltage non-domestic installations

This training is aimed at people with a technical background (technical service, maintenance staff, installation managers, etc.) to give them insight into the changes of the new AREI 2020.

The lecturer will go through all points of the AREI (non-residential applications) and provide the necessary interpretation. The emphasis will be on the matters that have been adapted or expanded in the 'new AREI'.

It also explains how and in what context the 'new' AREI should be used.

The focus of this training is on the part of low voltage installations.

(Alternating voltage ≤ 1000 V, direct voltage (with and without ripple) ≤ 1500 V)

There is no examination, but a certificate of attendance is provided.

For full-day courses, a sandwich lunch is provided at noon.
