It's like electricity

[undyingking]

Am I right in thinking that there's a recent law / regulation saying that electrical work in your house now has to be done by a proper electrician?

If so, and it wasn't just a bad dream, does anybody know what it covers? -- presumably you're still allowed to change a plug yourself, but eg. I want to remove two ceiling spotlights and replace them with pendant fittings, could I still do that?

"is any one going to know?"

Depends on what you are doing since the introdution of the regs the wiring colour code has been changed and som eof it has a date stamp on it. ( of course if you happend to have bought a 100m real of each size just prior to the change....ahem shuffles feet)

But more to the point the actual Cat P regs can be found here
