17th Edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations

The introduction of the 17th Edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations on the 1st January 2008 has major implications for all electrical contractors, designers and consultants. From 1st July 2008 all new electrical installations will have to be designed to comply with the new regulations.

The biggest area of concern at present is the effect on an individual's home being wired or re-wired. When designing the installation and selecting the correct assembly, the electrician will need to consider a number of aspects, in accordance with the regulations. It is not solely the function of a particular consumer unit that has one, two or three RCDs with an incomer isolator to solve the problem of meeting the 17th Edition regulations.

The download below will provide a practical guide to help you to select the components for an assembly to ensure that the installation complies with the 17th Edition regulations.
