The UK’s Wiring Regulations (BS 7671) and electrical safety laws are among the most demanding compliance frameworks in Europe, with over 600 pages of technical standards requirements covering installation design, fault protection, energy efficiency, and special locations. Each year, thousands of installations fail initial inspections, with non-compliance contributing to an estimated 20,000+ electrical fires annually across the UK—making regulatory compliance essential for every electrical leader.
This certified program is designed to provide you with comprehensive expertise in the UK’s electrical safety regulations, BS 7671 Wiring Regulations, and compliance frameworks, enabling you to design, install, inspect, and certify electrical systems safely and lawfully. Participants will gain a strong command of the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, the Memorandum of Guidance, Building Regulations Approved Document P, and the complete BS 7671:2018 framework, including Amendments 3 and 4, ensuring full alignment with current legal and technical standards across all electrical environments.
The program explores the technical and safety foundations of electrical installations, covering core electrical principles, load assessments, and protection against electric shock through effective earthing, bonding, and use of RCDs, circuit breakers, and Arc Fault Detection Devices (AFDDs). You will master inspection and testing procedures, including continuity, polarity, and earth fault loop testing, with practical examples and NICEIC certification requirements. It also addresses specialized installations in commercial, industrial, medical, and high-risk environments, including BMS, SCADA, data centres, and lightning protection systems, ensuring confident application of sector-specific regulations.
Upon successful completion of the program, you will be awarded the Certification in UK Wiring Regulations and Electrical Safety. This certification will enhance your professional credentials, demonstrate your expertise in managing risks, strengthen your organization's safety frameworks, and validates your ability to implement legally sound electrical strategies. With lifelong validity, the certification also serves as a testament proving your commitment to electrical safety and compliance to the highest standards.
