ON-SITE GUIDE BS 7671 2008 IEE Wiring Regulations 17th Edition.pdf

The On-Site Guide is one of a number of publications prepared by the IET to provide guidance on certain aspects of BS 7671:2008 Requirements for Electrical Installations (IEE Wiring Regulations, 17th Edition). BS 7671 is a joint publication of the British Standards Institution and the Institution of Engineering and Technology. The scope generally follows that of BS 7671. It includes material not included in BS 7671, provides background to the intentions of BS 7671 and gives other sources of information. However, this guide does not ensure compliance with BS 7671. It is a simple guide to the requirements of BS 7671, and electricians and electrical installers should always consult BS 7671 to satisfy themselves of compliance. It is expected that persons carrying out work in accordance with this guide will be competent to do so. Electrical installations in the United Kingdom which comply with the IEE Wiring Regulations, BS 7671, should also comply with all relevant Statutory Regulations such as the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, the Electricity Safety, Quality and Continuity Regulations 2002 and the Building Regulations, in particular Part P. It cannot be guaranteed that BS 7671 complies with all relevant Regulations and it is stressed that it is essential to establish what statutory and other Regulations apply and to install accordingly. For example, an installation in Licensed Premises may have requirements different from or additional to BS 7671 and these will take precedence over BS 7671
