Gary Gundry MIET
Gary Gundry chairs JPEL/64/C, a subcommittee of JPEL/64 — the UK's national committee responsible for BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. So, when Shine Forms checks a value on one of your forms against BS 7671, that regulatory logic is informed by someone who helps write the standard itself.
As Gary also serves on BS 5266 (responsible for emergency lighting), the same technical approach underpins your emergency lighting certificates as well.
What Gary does at Shine Forms
Gary provides ongoing technical guidance to Shine Forms' core regulation intelligence — which helps to shape the automated checks that flag non-compliant values across your EICRs, EICs, 'Minor Works', and BS 5266 emergency lighting certificates.
Articles carrying the "Technically reviewed by Gary Gundry" credit have been checked by Gary for technical accuracy against the current regulations.
