Discuss Differences in regs for rental property? in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

I took the original question to mean "do you have to buy a different book?"
Not "what is in the book".
But either way, both questions are now adequately answered!
(If I was in a tree in the Congo it wouldn't be the book I chose to take with me)
 
If you were in the Congo…. Would a BRITISH standard be any good?



BS7671 is only wiring regulation.

An early example would be the introduction of smoke alarms into rental properties.

the fact that detectors had to be put in rental accommodation was decided by fire safety and the renting industry…. But how those detectors are wired, is down to 7671.


Let’s take 2 flats… in a tower block on, say, the 6th floor. One rented, one owned.

It is the height that we go by, not whether it is rented or owned.
 
Therefore the regs aren’t the same for everyone.
Calm down, in the UK they are, our bible, the regs is for us all to adhere to, go and stand in the naughty corner and say I promise not to be silly 1000 times :D

I would take my glasses before taking any book :)
