New UK Wiring Regulations


Here in the UK from July we have new wiring regulations. They look straightforward enough to me and we generally use electrical contractors anyway. But what concerns me is how I can be certain our wiring jobs meet the new regs. I found that Schneider Eletric has a website with some neat little guides. I'm not sure if these give me enough background though. Any good ideas?

Re: New UK Wiring Regulations


I'm confused, your user name is texas123 and you're in the UK? I think your trade, Energy Efficiency Consultant, would have a different meaning here in the US. As far as meeting the new regulations, get a copy of the new regulations and make sure your work or the work of your contractors meets the new regulations. If you don't understand the new regulations take some classes or training on them.
