Electrical safety is built on principles that remain constant — even as standards evolve. Clear responsibility, competent people, and systems that support safe decision-making form the foundation of effective electrical risk management.
From 15 April, the City & Guilds Requirements for Electrical Installations qualification will update to align with BS 7671:2018 + A4:2026, reflecting the latest amendment to the Wiring Regulations.
This update is more than a change in course designation. It reinforces a core principle of electrical safety: competence must be maintained, reviewed, and kept current in line with best practice.
This article outlines what the BS 7671:2018 + A4:2026 update represents and why refresher training continues to play a vital role in safe, compliant electrical work.
