What is the 18th Edition?
BS 7671:2018 (more commonly known as the 18th Edition) is the current version of the British Standard BS 7671. This is the UK’s national standard for electrical installations.
All practising electricians in the UK must demonstrate a good working knowledge of the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations – or ‘the regs’, as experienced sparks tend to call them.
Earning your 18th Edition certificate is a crucial step on your journey to becoming a professional electrician. This qualification proves that you’re familiar with the latest UK requirements for electrical installations and that your work is fully compliant with the regs.
