IEE Wiring Regulations: 17th Edition 

 

BS7671 is the national standard for all electrical installations undertaken in the UK.  The 17th Edition of the Wiring Regulations were published in January 2008 and came into effect in July 2008.

 

Installations designed before July 1st 2008 can be in accordance with the 16th Edition of the wiring regulations and installed and certified to this standard after July 1st 2008.  However, all designs after July 1st will have to be to the new standard and installed and certified as such.
