BS 7671 also known as the IET Wiring Regulations provides guidelines for electrical installations in the United Kingdom. While the regulations do not explicitly cover light switches there are general principles and considerations related to their installation and use:
Switch Types:
BS 7671 doesn't specify particular types of light switches. However common types include single-pole switches double-pole switches and intermediate switches for controlling lights from multiple locations.
Location and Accessibility:
Light switches should be installed in accessible locations and at appropriate heights typically around 1200mm above the finished floor level. This ensures ease of use and compliance with accessibility standards.
Switched Live Wiring:
The wiring associated with light switches follows standard conventions. The switched live wire (SL) carries current when the switch is in the ON position and is typically connected to the live conductor of the lighting circuit.
Connection to Protective Earthing:
Light switches should be connected to the protective earthing system. This ensures that metal parts of the switch such as the faceplate or mounting box are earthed to prevent electric shock in case of a fault.
Regulations for Specific Locations:
Special locations such as bathrooms or outdoor areas may have specific regulations regarding the type of switches and their installation. For example switches in bathrooms need to be suitable for the environment and positioned outside of the designated zones.
Use of Dimmer Switches:
When using dimmer switches it's important to ensure compatibility with the lighting load. Some LED or energy-saving lamps may require specific dimmers and the total load should not exceed the dimmer's capacity.
Qualified Installation:
All electrical work including the installation of light switches should be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with BS 7671. This ensures compliance with safety standards and regulations.
While light switches themselves may not have specific regulations in BS 7671 their installation and use are integral parts of electrical installations and adherence to general electrical safety principles is essential.
