ECA Technical Manager Darren Crannis gives an overview of the main changes proposed in the Draft for Public Comment (DPC) of Amendment 4 to the Wiring Regulations (BS 7671:2018 Amendment 2 (2022) + Amendment 3 (2024)).

The DPC (Draft for Public Consultation) on the amendment opens today and will close on 1 November 2024 at 5pm. Throughout this period, ECA will be supporting its Members via our technical helpline, a video series and a live webinar hosted by the ECA Technical Team.

The greatly anticipated amendment will incorporate changes to harmonised standards at European level which the UK has to adopt within a certain time period. Until the amendment is published in 2026, ECA Members must have a copy of Amendment 2 (2022) - the ‘brown book’ and Amendment 3 (2024) free PDF bolt-on) to be up to date.
