Richard, As I mentioned in my original reply, the building wiring rules vary from one country within the EU to another. While it is true that the UK Wiring Regulations (BSI 7671) are based on the CENELEC Harmonised Document HD384, which is itself based on the IEC 60364 series of standards, it would be wrong of someone to think that if they purchased a copy of BS 7671 and then based their whole European installation strategy on this UK document that they would be certain not to have difficulties elsewhere in Europe. Of course, if someone wanted to know what the requirements are in the UK and thereby get a 'flavour' of the requirements elsewhere, then that would be a different matter and BS 7671 (also known as the IEE Wiring Regulations) would be a good place to start. They may also wish to look at the IEE web site (www.iee.org) for books that provide aditional guidance when applying the IEE Wiring Regulations. Regards, Richard Hughes.

You can purchase a single part copy as BSI 7671.
