{{Main|Electrical wiring in the United Kingdom}}
In the United Kingdom, wiring installations are regulated by the [[British Standard]] known as [[BS 7671]] ''Requirements for Electrical Installations: IET Wiring Regulations'', which are harmonised with IEC 60364. The first edition was published in 1882. BS 7671 is an industry standard and as such is not itself statutory, however legislation in the form of [[building regulations in the United Kingdom|UK Building Regulations]] requires that domestic installations conform to a safe standard, and official guidance accompanying this statutory regulation points to following BS 7671 as one way to comply.
BS 7671 is also used as a national standard by [[Mauritius]], [[St Lucia]], [[Saint Vincent and the Grenadines]], [[Sierra Leone]], [[Singapore]], [[Sri Lanka]], [[Trinidad and Tobago]], [[Uganda]] and [[Cyprus]].
