UK Statutory Requirements for Cable Installations
UK Statutory Requirements for Cable Installations
(OP)
Hi,
Having waded through a number of standards, I was wondering if anyone had a definitive list (or link to such) of the statutory (ie legal) requirements that apply when installing cabling (and equipment) in the UK?
Obviously BS7671, the 16th Edition Wiring Regulations apply and are mandatory, but is there anything else?
TIA,
dK

BS7671 only covers low voltage installations. It does not include hazardous areas, which have their own set of regs. It does not cover mines & quarries, which also have their own set of regs. There are standards for earthing. Etc, etc...

If we learn from our mistakes,
I'm getting a great education!

Thanks for your reply.
Perhaps my question was too general. Our normal operations involve low-voltage power installations, audio and data comms. These are not in any special conditions (such as mines or explosive atmospheres).
The 16th Edition has a list of referenced standards and of statutory regulations - I am concerned that there are other statutory regulations that may apply that are not called up here.
