Wiring Regulations in Brief: A complete guide to the requirements of the 16th Edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations, BS 7671 and Part P of the Building Regulations

Synopsis

This essential reference will prove an invaluable guide for anyone based in the electrical industry working on electrical systems (design, installation, inspection and testing), who requires a comprehensive source of information on the specific requirements of the IEE Wiring Regulations (published by the IET), without having to trawl through the lengthy, complicated coverage of the Regulations themselves. Unlike the majority of texts available on the subject of the IEE Wiring Regulations, which explain how adherence to the Regulations is achieved in working practice, Ray Tricker presents the specifics of the actual regulatory Standard itself in his renowned, easily accessible, and informal writing style. Wiring Regulations in Brief presents the IEE Wiring Regulations with a unique topic-based approach. Unlike the Regulations themselves, related topics are linked - areas such as inspection and testing are presented together in one section. This provides the reader with an exceptionally quick source of reference on all aspects of the Regulations as they relate to a specific area of working practice, which maximises easy identification of practical problems, and Regulations compliance. Part P, which brings domestic electrical installations under Building Regulations control as of 2005, is also covered in detail, to highlight the requirement that any person who carries out domestic electrical installation work, is now legally required to demonstrate their competence in their area of work. Comprehensive, succinct reference avoids the need to search through lengthy Standards. Topic based presentation links related areas of working practice for ease of reference. Informal writing style maximises accessibility, avoiding legal jargon and complex regulations definitions.

Media Reviews
Good, easy-to-follow, handy reference guide - brings all relevant connected regulations together in one section for quick reading and understanding. An excellent publication which will provide a constant reference work for the industry. Paul C Clifford, Green Leader Limited This is a fantastic book for engineers working with BS7671 who are not electricians. [...] This is an ideal reference to have around and refer to in explaining to the layman why an electrician is required. [...] It will enable you to cut through conjecture and confusion, and understand what you are looking for. As an engineer and a manager, I'm sure it will become one of the best used books on my bookshelf. L. Child, Amazon.co.uk Customer Review, June 2007
