What is the current edition of the IET Wiring Regulations?
The current edition of the IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671:2008) was published in July 2008. The Regulations set out the standards for the design, installation, testing and maintenance of electrical installations in the UK. The BS 7671 standard is regularly updated to take account of new technology and changing safety requirements.
The most recent edition of the BS 7671 standard includes a number of significant changes, such as new requirements for the protection of cable sheaths against mechanical damage, and the introduction of a new method for calculating safe cable current-carrying capacities. Compliance with the BS 7671 standard is essential for all electrical installations in the UK, and electricians must ensure that they are familiar with the latest edition of the Regulations.
What is BS 7671 18th edition?
The BS 7671 18th edition is the latest version of the wiring regulations from the British Standards Institute (BSI). It came into effect on the 1st of January 2019 and applies to all new installations and alterations to existing electrical installations. The 18th edition includes a number of significant changes, most notably in the areas of safety, energy efficiency and renewable energy. One of the most significant changes is the requirement for all new electrical installations to be equipped with residual current devices (RCDs).
RCDs are designed to cut off the electricity supply in the event of a fault, which can help to prevent electrocution and fires. In addition, the 18th edition requires that all new installations include adequate provision for charging electric vehicles. This reflects the growing trend towards electric transportation and helps to ensure that electrical infrastructure is able to keep pace with changing technology. The BS 7671 18th edition wiring regulations represent a significant step forwards in terms of electrical safety and efficiency.
