Requirements for Electrical Installations: BS 7671: 2008 (British Standard)

The IEE Wiring Regulations (BS 7671) are the national standard to which all domestic and industrial wiring must conform. A new edition of the ''Wiring Regulations'' - the 17th Edition - is now available. The 17th Edition reflects significant changes to both the technical content and structure of the book. Key changes in the volume 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; and, re-numbering and re-structuring of chapters to align with international standards. ''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.
