With the publication of Amendment 2 to BS 7671:2018, this page is designed with electricians in mind.
It deals with the key changes and some explanation of underlying principles as well as commentary on how the changes might affect those of us on the tools and running electrical businesses.
The new regulations can be implemented immediately but BS 7671: 2018+A1 remains current until 27th September 2022. This means that installations that are currently being designed and installed do not need to be altered to meet the new requirements. Of course, contractors can discuss the changes with clients if they wish and may choose, at additional cost, to alter installations if desired.
