BS 7671

The BS 7671 is a code of practice and is not statutory.

Although what is in the BS7671 covers the required legistation for the electrical installer, and can be used in a court of law in combination with other legislation.

The BS 7671 should be refered to, whilst installing an electrical installation so that you install it:

  • To the Regulations.
  • That it is safe to use.
It is not a requirement to committ to memory the complete code of practice (BS 7671)

It is a requirement to understand how the BS 7671 has been constructed, and to have a good working knowledge of it's requirements.
