The lEE Regulations, BS 7671 and this Guide

1.1The need for this Electrician's Guide

The Institution of Electrical Engineers (lEE) has published an 'On-site guide' with the 17th edition of its Regulations, which is intended to enable the electrician to carry out 'certain specified installation work' without further reference to the Regulations. Publicity for this guide before its issue stated 'the electrician is generally not required to perform any calculations'. When printed, this was changed to 'to reduce the need for detailed calculations'.
In the opinion of the Author, this attitude is incorrect. It assumes that behind every electrician there is a designer who will provide him with precise details of exactly what he is to do. This is, of course, what happens in some cases, but totally ignores all those electricians (probably a majority) who are left to work entirely on their own, who have to do their own calculations and make their own decisions. These same electricians are subject to the law, so that a failure to implement the IEE Regulations which leads to an accident, may result (and has resulted) in a prison sentence.
It would be foolish to suppose that this Electrician's Guide could totally replace the complete Regulations, which are made up of over two hundred and fifty A4 pages, together with a total of eight associated 'guides'. Certainly, every electrician who does not have the advantage of expert design advice should equip himself with the complete Regulations and with the associated guides. However, it is the belief of the Author that this Electrician's Guide will help the average electrician to understand, and to implement, these very complicated Regulations in the safest and most cost-effective way possible.
