Michael Kenyon, Technical Manager at Bureau Veritas, stated:
“Electrical safety and compliance has always been an evolving process and over the last six months, the introduction of the 18th Edition regulations has ushered in a new era of best practice for surge protection, EV charging point installation and energy efficiency.
“Looking ahead, we expect energy efficiency to play a greater role in electrical standards , with Part 8 – which sets out guidance on lessening environmental impact, reducing energy losses through greater adoption of smart solutions, such as power factor correction. This marks a significant change as until now the wiring regulations have traditionally focused on safety alone.
