A new Regulation for electrical safety, which makes homes safer was announced on the 29th June 2004 by the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and became law on 1st January 2005.

Each year on average 10 people die and about 750 are seriously injured in accidents involving unsafe electrical installations in the home.

The aim was to reduce the risk from electrocution in the home and place electric wiring within the scope of the Building Regulations for the first time.

All Electrical work in dwellings is required to meet the requirements of Part P and Requirements for Electrical Installations B.S. 7671 To do so you must employ an Electrician who is registered on a Part P self-certification scheme or notify your local council building control 3 days before you start work.
