Electrician's Guide to the Building Regulations (Electrical Regulations)

Product Information

The information provided is intended to complement Part 6 of BS 7671: 2018+A2:2022 and covers the general requirements relating to the inspection and testing of electrical installations forming part of TN-C-S, TN-S and TT electrical systems. Established electrical workers will skip this element, as the expectation is that they will already have acquired a solid grounding in these disciplines. Electrician’s Guide to the Building Regulations includes the latest guidance on third-party certification schemes and covers relevant parts of the Building Regulations, including Fire Safety, Ventilation and Conservation of Energy.

All final circuits of the location have additional protection by means of an RCD in accordance with Regulation 701. This is the 5th edition of the IET's Code of Practice for In-service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment. This publication has been further updated to include two subsequent amendments to the IET Wiring Regulations as BS 7671:2018+A2:2022.If an extractor fan is installed in zone 1 or 2 it must be protected against the ingress of moisture to at least IPX4. The guide will be useful for apprentices and trainees carrying out the calculations necessary for a basic installation and has been fully updated to BS 7671:2018+A2:2022. This book provides practical advice and guidance on the inspection and testing of electrical installations and the completion of NICEIC certificates and reports. It is essential to all those concerned with the design, installation and maintenance of electric wiring in buildings. last paragraph) allows supplementary bonding to be omitted where the location containing a bath or shower is in a building with a protective equipotential bonding system in accordance with Regulation 411.

There is also advice on how to test and certify electrical installations to ensure they are safe and compliant. Here, as partially already alluded to, delegates will review the full Building Regulations documentation (inclusive of Part P). Unsurprisingly, therefore, this course’s certification serves to augment any application for Part P scheme membership.

The cords of cord-operated switches are allowed in zones 1 and 2 and are recommended for bathrooms and shower rooms. The most commonly used scheme is the NICEIC (National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting) certification scheme, but there are others available. The City and Guilds suite of online multiple-choice tests have a flagging system integrated into their software. Quick mathematicians may have already worked out that this permits an average of two minutes per answer.

Reaffirmation of the demarcation between equipment connected to a fixed electrical installation and the installation itself; greater emphasis and guidance regarding user-checks; and advice on the types of test available to duty-holders. With a decent revision schedule, good levels of concentration on the course, and taking note of the advice articulated above, students should be reasonably confident of at least attaining this score. The guide includes all the changes and updates to the regulations that have been introduced since the previous edition. As both electricians and domestic installers operate in this type of environment, the vast majority of electrical sector workers have needed to gain an awareness of this legal update.Indeed, becoming a part of an accredited licensing programme demonstrates that persons can competently and compliantly deliver all electrical works within a domestic context. BS 7671:2018+A2:2022 incorporates changes from the first amendment, published in 2020, regarding Electric Vehicle Charging Installations to provide greater guidance on embracing changing technology within this sector.
