A: Yes, we are an approved City & Guilds centre and you will be taking the City & Guilds 2382-22 exam and will receive a City & Guilds certificate on successful completion of the exam through us. Whether or not a ‘periodic’ tenancy is a new tenancy, as defined in Regulation 2, depends on the type of tenancy issued. A new Regulation 411.3.4 requires that, within domestic (household) premises, additional protection by an RCD shall be provided for AC final circuits supplying luminaires. Reports can also recommend improvement, in addition to requiring remedial work. If a report only recommends improvement but does not require any further investigative or remedial work to be carried out – indicated with a ‘C3’ classification code – then while it would be good practice to carry out this work, it would not be required to comply with the Regulations. What about new build properties or new installations?

Regulation 443.4 for determining if protection against transient overvoltages is needed has been redrafted. Regulation 443.4.1 now requires protection against transient overvoltages to be provided where the consequence caused by the overvoltage could result in:

Technical support

Regulation 521.10.202 now requires all cables to be sufficiently supported against collapse in the event of a fire. Previously, this was only in escape routes and is now throughout. The course material covers amendment 2 of BS7671, and candidates who take the final examination will be enrolled for the City & Guilds 2382-22 qualification – this is the current brown book version. You will need a copy of BS7671 to complete the course and final examination. The electrical installation should be safe for continued use. In practice, if the report does not require investigative or remedial work, the landlord will not be required to carry out any further work. Part 1 of the BS 7671 shows what sorts of installations are covered by the 18th Edition Regulations. It outlines what the regulations are meant for the basic requirements to follow for safety. Kitchens and outdoors – garden lighting or power installations, for example (only applicable in Wales)

Landlords must retain a copy of the report to give to the inspector and tester who will undertake the next inspection and test. What will the report show? YouTube sets this cookie to register a unique ID to store data on what videos from YouTube the user has seen. The decision to take urgent remedial action by the local authority. An appeal must be made within 28 days from the day on which the work started. If you don’t have this qualification you may find it hard to secure work with large companies and agencies, as they may require that electricians working for them have this qualification as a minimum. There are a number of minor changes for BS 7671:2018+A2:2022 but some of the most significant ones include:

Copyright of updates

Employees must not do any electrical work if they have not had appropriate training or approval from their line manager.

NOTE 1: Completion of an electrical installation designed to the withdrawn standard can be subject to the contractual agreement between all parties involved.Various common terminology is used throughout the wiring regulations. It is important to have a full understanding of the terms, what they mean, and how they relate to wiring and electrical work you may be carrying out.

It is a requirement that all electricians comply with the regulations set out in the 18th Edition. Therefore, it would be extremely beneficial to complete a training course on this. Landlords must then supply a copy of this report to the tenant within 28 days of the inspection and test, to a new tenant before they occupy the premises, and to any prospective tenant within 28 days of receiving a request for the report. Competence and Certification: The regulations emphasise the importance of competency in electrical installations. They require electricians and professionals involved in designing, installing, inspecting, and maintaining electrical systems to possess the necessary knowledge and skills. Compliance with the regulations assures qualified individuals are involved in electrical work, reducing the risk of mistakes and unsafe installations.Domestic electrical work can be broken down into two categories – notifiable and non-notifiable works. Notifiable works are generally larger-scale or more complex jobs, where both the risk and level of knowledge needed are higher. This section includes changes to automatic disconnection of supply and additional protection. Section 717 - Mobile or transportable units The local authority can recover the costs of taking the action from the landlord. The landlord has the right of appeal against a demand for costs. What if a tenant won’t let me in, or I can’t find an inspector? The Regulations state that a landlord must ensure that electrical safety standards are met, and that investigative or remedial work is carried out if the report requires this. You will only need the electronic version for CPS schemes like the NICEIC or NAPIT, the JIB, and most employers.
