LATEST Amendment 4:2026 to BS 7671:2018 IET Wiring Regulations publications

THE LATEST COURSES include all the new requirements required from us as qualified electricians to enable us to implement the latest requirements for us to work in the electrical trade and for us to work to the current trade requirements.

Why is it important?

We need to ensure that all our work complies with the latest and current electrical, both legal and practical, requirements, both for the safety of the installation work we undertake, and to comply with legal necessities.

We often forget just how dangerous electricity can be, with over 250000 electrical fires occurring in 2024. Always make sure you keep up to date with current requirements to meet the regulations.

WHEN WILL THE PREVIOUS REGULATIONS BE WITHDRAWN?

The previous version, BS 7671:2018+A2:2022+A3:2024 and the Corrigendum 2023, will be withdrawn on 15 October 2026. Amendment 4, commonly called the Orange Book, will then become the definitive British Standard and primary reference for compliance in the UK.

t’s not just about safety; it’s about competency and being up to date with current requirements.

From 15 October 2026, your business will need to demonstrate access to Amendment 4 to continue to comply with NICEIC scheme requirements.
