Please note that neither the Electrical Safety Council nor the forum is able to respond directly to technical questions from individuals. Electrical contractors and installers seeking technical advice on the application of the requirements of the 17th Edition should contact their registration or trade body in the first instance.If the registration or trade body wishes to establish a consensus of opinion, they may refer the question to the forum for consideration. If the forum is able to agree on an appropriate answer, it will be added to the question and answer section below.
The answers provided by the forum in this section of the website assume that the designer and installer intend to comply fully with the requirements of the 17th Edition. All new and rewired installations designed after 30 June 2008 are, without exception, required to comply fully with the requirements of the 17th Edition.Where exceptionally, after that date, designers and/or installers decide to adopt alternative approaches for alterations and additions to existing installations, they must be recorded as departures from the current standard in the box provided for the purpose on electrical installation certificates based on the model form given in the 17th Edition. Where such an alternative approach is taken, the designer and/or installer as appropriate must be prepared to justify the decision, and the resulting degree of safety of the installation must not be less than that obtained by compliance with the 17th Edition.
