Requirements for Electrical Installations, IET Wiring Regulations, Eighteenth Edition, BS 7671:2018+A2:2022 (Electrical Regulations)

Product Information

Ensure national standards for electrical safety are met. These are set out in the 18th edition of the ‘Wiring Regulations’, which are published as British Standard 7671. Equipment with frequency controlled speed drives RCD can detect & respond as for Type A, PLUS high-frequency residual current A: You will have access to your course for up to one year or until you pass your exam, whichever comes first. During your course you can go over any session as many times as you wish. And after you have passed your exam we will upgrade you to our Exam Passer option which will give you free access to the additional introduction to inspection & testing and the C&G 2393-10 courses as well as lifetime 18th Edition updates. Previously, there was the term ‘installations designed after a certain date are to comply to the new edition’.

We recommend that landlords regularly carry out portable appliance testing (PAT) on any electrical appliance that they provide and then supply tenants with a record of any electrical inspections carried out as good practice. Existing installations that have been installed in accordance with earlier editions of the Wiring Regulations may not comply with the 18th edition in every respect. This does not necessarily mean that they are unsafe for continued use or require upgrading. The standard is maintained by the Joint IET/BSI Technical Committee JPEL/64, the UK National Committee for Wiring Regulations, and published jointly by the IET (formerly IEE) and BSI. Although the IET and BSI are non-governmental organisations and the Wiring Regulations are non-statutory, they are referenced in several UK statutory instruments, and in most cases, for practical purposes, have legal force as the appropriate method of electric wiring. [3]Energy efficiency appears in new Appendix 17 in the 18 th Edition. This provides recommendations on the design and erection of electrical installations for optimising the overall efficient use of electricity. These are our main exam centres, where we can provide the exam on almost any date and time, even at a fairly short notice. If you don’t have the 18th Edition, or don’t know what the regulations include, your installations may not meet the current standard, which could mean that your installations are unsafe or inefficient.

Option 3 – Fitting an EV charger without PEN Fault built in but installing an earth rod as means of earth for the charge point only.This regulation will require electrical installers to identify whether or not an incoming metallic pipe has an insulating section, to allow them to determine if they must add the protective bonding to the pipe.
