Course content
In this topic, you’ll learn about the safety standards for fire alarms, fire detection systems, and heat alarms. It also covers fire resistance, specifically how electrical service penetrations through floors, walls, and ceilings must be protected to prevent the spread of fire.
This topic emphasizes the need to prevent water and contaminants (such as radon gas) from entering buildings through service penetrations. You’ll explore site preparation practices and materials to maintain electrical installation safety in these conditions.
Here, the course covers how soundproofing measures should be implemented alongside electrical installations. The regulations around service penetrations that may compromise soundproofing will be discussed, ensuring compliance with Part E of the Building Regulations.
This topic highlights the requirements for proper ventilation rates within a dwelling, ensuring that electrical installations do not interfere with the building’s airflow and ventilation systems. You’ll learn how to install electrical components without impacting a home’s ventilation performance.
Part L focuses on energy efficiency. This module covers requirements for energy-efficient lighting, metering, and controls, ensuring that electrical installations meet modern standards for conserving energy in a dwelling.
This topic explains the rules for ensuring electrical installations are accessible for all, including people with disabilities. It includes information on the correct heights for socket outlets and switches, ensuring compliance with accessibility standards outlined in Part M.
This topic outlines safety standards for electrical installations in domestic dwellings. It ensures that all electrical work is carried out to a safe, compliant standard, protecting residents from potential hazards.
A Competent Person Scheme (CPS) allows certified electricians to self-certify that their work complies with Building Regulations, eliminating the need for local authority inspections. This ensures work is safe and legal.
Notifiable works are electrical tasks that must be reported to local building control, such as installing new circuits. Non-notifiable works, like replacing a light fitting, don’t require this notification but still must follow safety standards.
Safe isolation is a critical process ensuring that electrical circuits are de-energized before work begins. It involves steps like locking off switches and verifying the circuit is off to prevent electrical hazards and ensure safety.
