New IET Wiring Regulations, 18th Edition The 18th Edition of The IET Wiring Regulations launched on 2 July 2018. Also known as BS 7671:2018, it’s an opportunity for all electricians to be up to date with the latest industry standards. What’s the IET 18th Edition? It forms the national standard to which all new and amended electrical installations in the UK are to comply. The IET urges all electrical professionals to ensure they are familiar with the changes before the new requirements come into force from January 2019. What do these changes mean for learners, professionals and the industry?
