Compliance with the regulations assures qualified individuals are involved in electrical work, reducing the risk of mistakes and unsafe installations.
Consumer Protection: The 18th Edition Wiring Regulations prioritise the safety and protection of consumers. They provide guidelines for electrical installations in residential, commercial, and industrial settings, ensuring that consumers are safeguarded against electrical hazards. Compliance with the regulations offers peace of mind to consumers and protects them from substandard and unsafe electrical work.
