Product Information

The 18th Edition Wiring Regulations are crucial in ensuring electrical safety, promoting best practices, and maintaining standards. The version in force when the law came into effect was the 16th edition, BS 7671:2001, as amended in 2002 and 2004 Amendment 2 (change of phase colours) . 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. Many people assume that the new course will contain lots of extra content, however in reality it will still remain very similar to the old 17th Edition courses with some changes.

The BS 7671 is divided into 7 main parts as well as appendices with each one of these parts subdivided into individual chapters. Flexibility: Online/blended learning allows students to access course materials and lectures at their own convenience. In 1992, the IEE Wiring Regulations became British Standard BS 7671 so that the legal enforcement of their requirements was easier both with regard to the Electricity at Work regulations and from an international point of view. Since the ubiquitous ‘blue book’ was published in 2018, the electrical contracting industry has encountered Brexit, COVID and material shortages, Building Safety legislation and various green technology and other opportunities.In the 18th Edition training, there are a variety of topics that are covered that ensure that both budding and experienced electricians are up to date with the current British standards of wiring regulations. This 3-day electrical training course will familiarise you with the layout, content and application of BS 7671: 18 (2382-22) 18th Edition Wiring Regulations. This can be advantageous for individuals who need more time to grasp certain concepts or who want to accelerate their learning. Additional changes within the second amendment include protection against thermal effects and fire caused by electrical equipment, protection against voltage disturbances and electromagnetic disturbances, and a new chapter on prosumer's low-voltage electrical installations covering energy efficiency measures, the interface with the smart grid, the management of electricity consumption, the management of renewable sources of electricity, and energy storage. They provide guidelines for electrical installations in residential, commercial, and industrial settings, ensuring that consumers are safeguarded against electrical hazards.

Students who are under 19 at the start of their course do not normally pay course fees, except for a few courses.
