"BS 7671, although not a legal requirement, is a set of golden rules for electrical installation work and encourages best practice amongst the profession. The regulations are extensively referred to in health and safety documentation and, after 30 June 2008, all installations in the UK will have to comply with them."
- Geoff Cronshaw, Chief Engineer, Institution of Engineering and Technology

BS 7671 (The IEE Wiring Regulations) are the national standard to which all domestic and industrial wiring must conform. The 17th edition contains substantial changes to align with European documents.

Ensure that your electrical installations conform to the latest safety guidelines from the British Standards Institution (BSI) and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) as codified in BS 7671, Requirements for Electrical Installations. This is especially important as the Building Regulations Part P Electrical Safety now applies to all fixed electrical installations (for operation at low voltage or extra-low voltage) that are not controlled by the Electricity Supply Regulations 1988 or the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.

BS 7671 applies to the design, erection and verification of electrical installations, also additions and alterations to existing installations. Existing installations that have been installed in accordance with earlier editions of the Regulations may not comply with this edition in every respect. This does not necessarily mean that they are unsafe for continued use or require upgrading.

BS 7671:2008 Requirements for Electrical Installations is intended to come into effect on 1st July 2008. Installations designed after 30th June 2008 are to comply with BS 7671:2008.

Contents and changes in BS 7671

The 17th Edition reflects significant changes to both the technical content and structure of the book. Key changes include:

  • A change allowing a socket outlet in bathrooms (if 3ms from the edge of a bath or shower and rcd protected)
  • Extension of the Regulations to cover new ‘special locations’: exhibition shows, photovoltaic (pv) power supply systems, floor and heating systems, marinas and fairgrounds and amusements parks.
    • Re-numbering and re-structuring of chapters to align with international standards.
  • Includes changes necessary to maintain technical alignment with CENELEC harmonization documents.
  • The Regulations move from being the 16th to the 17th edition – a major shift in name and perception of its contents. The 16th edition has been in place since 1991.
