Commentary on IEE wiring regulations 16th edition, BS 7671 : 2001 : requirements for electrical installations including Amendment No.1 : 2002

The 16th Edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations has since 1992 been adopted as the British Standard (BS 7671) for electrical installation work. This invaluable and authoritative Commentary is now revised to incorporate the major change to BS 7671:2001 (and the subsequent Amendment No. 1 2002). It provides independent but clear interpretation of and guidance to the Regulations, enabling the design and installation professional to understand and apply them and overcome problems that arise.. Written by the IEE's Principal Engineer, this is the definitive and essential reference for the electrical / wiring installation professional.
