iet
The Institution of Engineering and Technology is one of the world’s leading professional societies for the engineering and technology community. The IET has more than 150,000 members in 127 countries and has offices in Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific. The Institution provides a global knowledge network to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and ideas and promotes the positive role of Science, Engineering and Technology in the world.
IEE
The IET are responsible for the regulations that define the electrical installation industry. They publish BS7671: Requirements for Electrical Installations, a huge source of information for the design, inspection and verification of an electrical installation. Conformance with these regulations is considered to conform with the Electricity at Work Act and as such, almost every electrical installation is widely expected to conform.
There are currently several books published, so I have chosen the most relevant ones to list that would benefit a student or average electrician:
- IEE Wiring Regulations: BS7671 17th Edition Requirements for electrical installations
- IEE On Site Guide
- Guidance Notes 3: Inspection and Testing
- Electrician's Guide to the Building Regulations (Approved Document P)
The other guidance notes focus more on the design of installations and can be useful documents. More information can be found at the following address:
