Two-page summary guide on cable core colours published by the IEE

The IEE has published Amendment No. 2 to BS 7671:2001 (the IEE Wiring Regulatioins). The Amendment will specify new cable core colours for all new fixed wiring in electrical installations in the UK. These new colours are sometimes referred to as "harmonised" colours, as they will bring the UK more closely in line with practice in mainline Europe.

A summary of how cable core colour changes could affect you can be seen by downloading the colour leaflet above from the IEE.
