The proposals would see a reference to the IEE's Wiring Regulations (BS 7671) under the Building Regulations in England and Wales.
The regulations are expected to propose that electrical contractors self-certify installations. Only those deemed competent to undertake the work will be able to self-certify.
Members of the ECA and contractors on the NICEIC roll will be able to self-certify by virtue of their affiliation.
It is expected that any new electrical safety requirements would be limited to dwellings, as most other work is subject to the Electricity at Work Regulations.
