- There have been some changes to the Wiring Regulations and a corrigendum has been released. The changes are not severe, nothing like Zs changes or learning new condition codes, and these changes will be easily incorporated into our working lives. In this short LearnElectrics video we will show you the changes, what pages of the Wiring Regulations they are to be found on, and a few words about the changes.
Download your own copy of the corrigendum and update your copy of the Regs. It should take no more than 15 minutes to do this, and we’ll tell you where to find the corrigendum.
The corrigendum is a short list of amendments that the authors, The IET, wish to make, without publishing a new amendment to the 18th edition.
The changes come into effect from Monday 15th May 2023 and are available as a free download from the IET website.
This video is specific to the Brown Amendment 2 Wiring Regs book.

So no big changes then , and unlikely to effect most sparks . Especially those who only do domestic. Thank you for letting us know. About these miner changes.
Great video as always 👍
Thanks for watching Sean. Nothing much to worry about, as you say. Dave.
Thanks for the update. Clause 422.2 has added new text in red "a firefighting lobby, shaft or staircase of" a protected escape route etc. Note 1 below Clause 422.2 states guidance is provided in Appendix 13. Appendix 13 describes protected escape routes (as defined) and states can be one or more of the following: "protected lobby, protected corridor, protected stairway". Therefore what is the intent behind the new text in red?
In a block of flats with a fire fighting shaft, the common corridor (protected corridor) is assumed to be the fire fighting lobby in line with guidance. The common corridors would in effect be captured by both Clause 422.2 and the guidance in Appendix 13.
I understand there are some cables (telecommunicaiton and data) which do not meet the requirements of Regulation 422.2.1 therefore does this mean such cables would need to be installed in metal conduit or metal trunking in the ceiling voids of common corridors in a block of flats? (Remember the common corridor is assumed to be the fire fighting lobby).
I note Appexdix 13 states "Cables installed in a fire resisting enclosure are deemed to be outside the protected escape route". Whilst a fire resisting ceiling could be provided within the common corridors of blocks of flats, this ceiling void is often used as a plenum for ventilation therefore not that easily achieved.
I would appreciate some of your thoughts on the matter.
I know what you're saying John. They have given us a taster and left the rest of the interpretation up to the individual. Personally. I think they are stating that these areas listed are definitely part of higher risk area in a lobby. maybe the IET will give clarity when they do a talk on the subject in June. Thanks for watching and for the comments. Dave.
@@learnelectrics4402 Hi Dave, thanks for your reply. Have you received clarity from the IET?
So basically we can omit SPD’s as smoke alarm system are not classed as danger to life systems?
Smoke alarms are one of the methods of protecting life. Thanks for watching. Dave.

Hi sir, I want to do electrical installation condition report the earth arrangement is TNC-S and the consumer unit has Additional Protection by RCD and RCBO but there is no earth bonding conductor and there is no water or gas pipe to run cable.
Installation pass all testes
So the EICR is satisfactory or no
And what we do
Thanks
If there are no water pipes and no gas pipes and no other extraneous metalwork in any part of the installation, then there is nothing to connect equi-potential bonding to. You must however have an earth cable from the service head to the consumer unit.
Hi will Corrigendum effect the City & Guilds 18th Edition Electrical Course (2382) exam I am looking to sit next month. Will the exam include these new changes or not,. Many Thanks
The exam should be on the latest edition of the Regs, especially as the corrigendum was almost 12 months ago.
Check with your exam centre.
I'm here again
Good to have you back Daniel.
Hi there…..
I finished L2. Can I take an exam of 18th addition? Thanks
Yes, you can take your 18th Edition whenever you feel ready for it. A good training centre will talk you through all that is involved. Use our Amendment 2 videos, they do help.
@@learnelectrics4402 Thanks a lot 🙏🏻
Please can you pin the link here
The link to the IET website is in the introduction to this video. I can't give you the link direct to the PDF, copyright and all that. Thanks for watching. Dave.
