Definition
Non-statutory regulations and codes of
practice interpret the statutory regu-
lations telling how can comply
with the law. They
relate principally the design, selection, erection, inspection and test-
ing electrical installations, whether permanent temporary, and
about buildings generally and agricultural and horticultural premises,
construction sites and caravans and their sites.c. your electrotechnical work meets the
requirements the IEE Regulations, you will also meet the requirements
of EWR.
Over the years, non-statutory regulations and codes practice have built
upon previous good practice and responded changes bringing out
new editions the various regulations and codes practice meet the
changing needs industry and commerce. They not apply electrical installa-
tions mines and quarries, where special regulations apply because the
adverse conditions experienced there.
. Paragraph the intro-
duction the EWR says: ‘the IEE Wiring Regulations code practice
which widely recognized and accepted the United Kingdom and com-
pliance with them likely achieve compliance with all relevant aspects
of the Electricity Work Regulations’. They
may, however, used court law evidence claim compliance
with statutory requirement’. The IEE Wiring Regulations are the
National Standard the United Kingdom and apply installations oper-
ating voltage 1000V a. However, the IEE Regulations
tell precisely how carry out our electrotechnical work safely in
order meet the statutory requirements the EWR.
The main reason for incorporating the IEE Wiring Regulations into British
Standard 7671: 2008 was create harmonization with European
Standards.

Non-statutory regulations and codes practice interpret the statutory
regulations telling how can comply with the law.
The current edition the IEE Wiring Regulations the 17th edition 2008.
When the Electricity Work Regulations (EWR) tell ‘ensure that
all systems are constructed prevent danger’ they not tell how
to actually this specific situation.
We will now look one non-statutory regulation, what sometimes called
‘the electrician’s bible’, the most important set regulations for any one
working the electrotechnical industry, the 7671: 2008 Requirements
for Electrical Installations, IEE Wiring Regulations 17th Edition. Part the
IEE Regulations, 114, states ‘the Regulations are non-statutory.
The IEE Regulations take account the technical intent the CENELEC
European Standards, which turn are based the IEC International
