Introduction
For well over one hundred years the Wiring Regulations have provided the rules which must be followed to
make sure that electrical installations are safe. The introduction of the 17
th
Edition of the Wiring
Regulations on the 1st January 2008 has major implications for all Electrical Contractors, Designers and
Consultants.
Installations designed from 1st July 2008 must comply with this new set of Regulations. Several new
Regulations will have an impact upon circuit design and consumer unit layout.
This guide will help you understand the new Wiring Regulations and current Building Regulations,
providing the necessary facts to construct compliant installations including Consumer Units.
