The 16th Edition IEE Wiring Regulations, adopted as British Standard BS 7671 in 1992, has been revised and a new version released as BS 7671:2001. The complete amended Regulations will now carry a blue cover to distinguish it from the previous yellow-covered version (ISBN 0-85296-927-9). Amendments incorporated in the new BS 7671:2001 affect several sections and include substantial changes to align with European documents. There are two new sections (443 and 482).
