Can you show it's legitimately obtained and you have a license for it.
If it's from BSI I think soft copies of standards have ownership details down the side of each page (well, used to!)
The inspecter might be the one that helps to put the book together.
Where did you obtain it?
I wouldn’t suggest sticking this in front of an assessors nose then.
TBF.... its probably got less spelling mistakes......
A counterfeit copy of the new regs? In sweet, easy-to-search PDF format? That's TERRIBLE!
I want to know EXACTLY where you got it from

All electricians should own a legit copy of the current regs.
I have searched high and low on the internet for the new amendment in PDF, but I'm damned if I can find a copy anywhere.
Shame really, as I have the 18th unamended in PDF, and it's way, way more useful than the hard copy. Cheaper too, that and the OSG only cost me £1.49 from ebay

Be some memory to remember the whole lot!

You don't remember it word for word, though. You remember the principles, the general rules, then the sections and chapters. We all know that 701 is bathrooms, for example, and the majority of us read sections 1-3 only when incredibly bored or there's a specific reason.
It wouldn't work online but it would be interesting to put a random couple of teams of sparks together, pub quiz style, and have two rounds of 'what does reg 411.3.3 talk about?' type questions and then 'if we're talking about Ufer earthing, where would we check our thoughts?' and so on.
I reckon people would be surprised what they'd drag up from memory.
Indeed. There would have to be beer involved though!

The NICEIC requirements do only state:
'has documentation and records appropriate to the range and scale of Domestic Electrical Installation Work undertaken which will include BS 7671* Requirements for Electrical Installations (IET Wiring Regulations)'
* Current edition including all amendments.
So if you could show it was an exact and correct copy they might accept it, but I wouldn't rely on it, since it is not a legitimately sourced document.
I got the online version this year and I've found it so much easier in terms of searching, etc. All my assessor wanted to see was that I had access to it, but I had the email showing subscription to it too.
Works nicely on tablet/phone for searching too, plus it gets updates when they are published, and allows access to older versions too.
The Bronze subscription gives you the OSG and GN1/GN3 too - not bad for £71 a year imo.
It is "apparently" possible to convert the online regs into a searchable pdf with the right software....so I'm told

That should be easy then, I'll just try to find the country that the haystacks actually in before I start looking for the needle

I just can't believe that given the hundreds you fork out to join the scam, getting a tester calibrated, getting insurances etc. anyone would apparently risk all that by skimping on a proper copy of the regs....
There's a professionalism angle here too, I'd want to be 101% sure that the document I was basing safety decisions on was definitely legit and correct.
Each to their own, I guess.
Absolutely. I'd have no confidence in an electrician who turned up with a dodgy set of regs just to save £80.
It would be nice to actually see if there are any actual errors. There could be a bit of scare mongering going on.
Let's us know when you fail and the first

I don't think you would find it in a library as they only have books that people want to read

The pdf of the blue book that was doing the rounds was from the Ceylon Electricity Board Library
Of course buying it from Amazon for the assessment, then returning it the day after, would be very naughty indeed....
Trouble is you'd never know. Could be something subtle in one of the tables. To my mind this is not a document you shouldn't take a risk with.
