Dear Members,
AGM 2011 was a huge success with all attending remarking on how well the event was run. Many commented on the venues chosen for meals and the ladies day out.
A revamped Electrical Inspections this edition with more technical information added.
The website has been updated to reflect the new Board of Directors and AGM Dates and Locations have
been set for the next two years, please take the time to note these dates in your long range Calendar.
A huge thank you to the Master Electricians and especially Andrew Bailey for his time organising and coordinating the Institutes AGM event this year.
Many items of discussion took place over the weekend, two main topics that surfaced numerous times is
what the administration can do to achieve higher membership levels and gaining interest from younger
members to get involved in the running of the Institute,
Without members involvement in the running of the Institute, your Institute will not exist into the future, please
take the time to consider volunteering for a small role to assist the administration and learn along the way.
Regards,
David Bibby

Note:
This guideline has been produced to notify the reader as to the basic requirements of Electrical Switchboard
Inspection. All points in this guideline may not pertain to every Electrical Switchboard Inspection.
The IEI intends to run further meetings in Victoria to produce similar checklists on other Electrical Inspections for
Victorian Inspectors due to the nature of the Industry.

If members require any other Australian Standards to be listed here for future reference, please email the IEI Secretary
or send a note to the Secretary at the Postal address and we will endeavour to add it to this list.
The Institute will attempt to keep the list up to date so as all members can be notified if an update is published on any of
the Standards in the list.
I did not add any prices to the list of Standards for two reasons: 1. SAI Global may change the prices without notice and
2. I did not want any members receiving a shock.
Happy Reading.
