I assume it’s now less than a year until the 4th Amendment is published, here on the IET website it says:
Amendment 4 is expected to be published in 2026, until that time electrical installers need to have a copy of Amendment 2 (2022) - the ‘brown book’ and Amendment 3 (2024) (free PDF bolt-on) to be up to date.

So, it is time to start planning ahead.
My first question is it a new book? There seems to be a lot of additional information and possibly changes as well.
My second question is, will there be an update qualification requiring a day on more in a training centre with an exam to be taken?
I have a couple of IET book markers somewhere with some information about this printed on them, but I’m not sure where they are at this moment.
There is a third question, which is when the 19th Edition is being published, which presumably will require new books and an exam, but I assume that won’t be published for at least two years?
