Wiring in Escape Routes: Stricter regulations for wiring in escape routes, such as corridors and staircases, have been introduced. Wiring systems with enhanced fire resistance properties, including low-smoke and zero-halogen characteristics, must be used.
-
Earthing and Bonding Requirements: Amendment 3 revises the requirements for earthing and bonding arrangements to enhance safety and minimise the risk of electric shock and fire hazards.
-
Circuit Breakers for Socket Outlets: Additional protection is now required for socket outlets in specific locations, such as bathrooms. The use of 30mA Residual Current Devices (RCDs) or similar protective measures is recommended to reduce the risk of electric shock.

Frequently Asked Consumer Unit Questions (FAQs)
How to wire a consumer unit?
Wiring a consumer unit is a complex and potentially hazardous task that requires a deep understanding of electrical systems and safety measures. It's crucial to prioritise safety when dealing with electrical work, and any mistakes can have serious consequences. Therefore, we strongly advise you to consult a professional electrician to wire a consumer unit correctly.
Professional electricians have the necessary expertise, tools, and knowledge to ensure that the consumer unit is installed safely and in compliance with all relevant regulations. They will also be able to assess your specific electrical needs and make appropriate recommendations to ensure the unit meets your requirements.
Attempting to wire a consumer unit without the proper training and experience can lead to electrical hazards, fires, and even legal issues. To safeguard your property and the safety of those within it, it's best to leave this task to qualified professionals who can complete the job safely and efficiently.
Does EV Charger need separate consumer unit?
Determining whether you require a new consumer unit for your Electric Vehicle (EV) charger depends largely on your existing electrical setup. The power demands of EV chargers can be substantial, and it's critical to ensure that your current system can safely handle this increased load.
To guarantee safe operation, you should consider establishing a dedicated circuit for the charger, ensuring proper wiring, and incorporating Residual Current Device (RCD) protection. While many chargers include built-in RCDs, if not, it's essential to include them to prevent electric shock hazards. Surge protection may also be necessary, and it's crucial to have professional installation to adhere to safety standards and local codes.
If your current consumer unit has available capacity and is in good condition, it might be feasible to add an EV charger circuit. However, if you have an older or fully utilised consumer unit, you may need to upgrade or replace it to accommodate the additional power requirements.
Nevertheless, it is highly advisable to have a qualified electrician perform a comprehensive evaluation of your electrical system before proceeding with EV charger installation.
