BS7671 Rant and Recomendations
Former Community Member
Hi, I'm about a quarter way through reading BS7671 and not impressed at all. I've been studying daily for months now. It's written in a way that makes it very difficult to understand. Long complicated sentences that make you loose track of what's being explained. Repetition. Poor headings and formatting. References to other BS7671 regulations and other BS every few lines. If you want electricians to work safely then make clear and concise safety instructions. I'm guessing most people skim over it. I'm struggling to stay awake reading it. I have started reading a few of the IET guidance notes. They are better but still poorly structured and there's repetition and nonsense. Does anyone know of any better books to learn from that are clear and concise and well structured? Thanks.

I have studied and been examined on the I.E.E. and I.E.T. Wiring Regulations since the 15th edition. I am still learning, and am very impressed with the different layers of technical content and knowledge that impresses me no end.
A reference book to cherish and learn from I say. Also the evolving of the regulations is a fascinating historical learning experience.
