Try these sample questions to test your C&G 2382-22 (18th Edition) exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Which document is BS 7671:2018+A2:2022 most commonly known as in the UK electrical industry?
A.The Building Regulations
B.The IET Wiring Regulations
C.The Electricity at Work Regulations
D.The Health and Safety at Work Act
Explanation: BS 7671 is published jointly by the BSI and the IET and is universally referred to as the IET Wiring Regulations. The current 18th Edition is BS 7671:2018 incorporating Amendment 2 (2022).
2BS 7671 is divided into how many numbered Parts?
A.Five
B.Six
C.Seven
D.Eight
Explanation: BS 7671 is structured into seven numbered Parts (Part 1 Scope, object and fundamental principles, through to Part 7 Special installations or locations), plus appendices. Amendment 2 also introduced a new Part 8 on functional and energy-efficiency requirements.
3Which Part of BS 7671 contains the requirements for inspection and testing?
A.Part 4
B.Part 5
C.Part 6
D.Part 7
Explanation: Part 6 (Inspection and testing) covers initial verification and periodic inspection and testing, including the test sequence in Chapter 64 and Regulation 643. Knowing this saves time navigating the regulations in the open-book exam.
4In BS 7671, what does the term 'live part' mean?
A.A conductor or conductive part intended to be energised in normal use, including the neutral but excluding a PEN conductor
B.Only the line conductors of a circuit
C.Any exposed metalwork that could become live under fault conditions
D.The protective earth conductor of an installation
Explanation: Part 2 defines a live part as a conductor or conductive part intended to be energised in normal use, including a neutral conductor but, by convention, not a PEN conductor. Understanding Part 2 definitions is essential because the rest of the standard relies on them.
5What is the BS 7671 definition of an 'exposed-conductive-part'?
A.A conductive part that can be touched and is liable to introduce a potential, generally Earth potential
B.A conductive part of equipment which can be touched and is not normally live but may become live under fault conditions
C.A live conductor that is accessible to touch
D.Any metal pipe entering the building from outside
Explanation: An exposed-conductive-part is a conductive part of equipment that can be touched and which is not live under normal conditions but may become live when basic insulation fails. Typical examples are the metal casing of a Class I appliance or metal trunking.
6Which of the following is an example of an extraneous-conductive-part?
A.The metal enclosure of a consumer unit
B.A metal water service pipe entering the building
C.The earth terminal of a socket outlet
D.The metal sheath of a steel-wire-armoured cable
Explanation: An extraneous-conductive-part is a conductive part liable to introduce a potential (generally Earth potential) and not forming part of the electrical installation, such as incoming metallic water, gas or structural pipework. These require main protective bonding under Regulation 411.3.1.2.
7What is the standard nominal supply voltage for a single-phase 230 V installation in the UK, as used in BS 7671?
A.240 V
B.230 V
C.220 V
D.415 V
Explanation: BS 7671 uses the harmonised nominal value of 230 V single-phase (U0) and 400 V between phases for three-phase supplies. Although UK distribution historically ran at 240 V, the declared nominal value adopted across the standard is 230 V.
8Under the fundamental principles in Part 1 / Chapter 13, what must be considered for every installation before work begins?
A.Only the cost of the materials
B.The maximum demand and diversity, supply characteristics and the external influences
C.Only the colour of the cables to be used
D.The brand of the consumer unit only
Explanation: Chapter 13 (Fundamental principles) and Part 3 require an assessment of general characteristics, including maximum demand, diversity, the nature of the supply (Section 313) and the external influences acting on the installation. This assessment underpins the whole design.
9BS 7671 generally applies to circuits supplied at nominal voltages up to and including which value AC?
A.230 V
B.400 V
C.1000 V
D.11 000 V
Explanation: The scope in Regulation 110.1 states the Regulations apply to circuits supplied at nominal voltages up to and including 1000 V AC or 1500 V DC. High-voltage distribution above these values is outside the scope of BS 7671.
10In BS 7671 voltage band terminology, into which band does Extra-Low Voltage (ELV) fall?
A.Band I (not exceeding 50 V AC / 120 V ripple-free DC)
B.Band II (exceeding 50 V AC up to 1000 V AC)
C.Band III (above 1000 V AC)
D.There is no defined band for ELV
Explanation: BS 7671 uses two voltage bands: Band I covers extra-low voltage systems not exceeding 50 V AC or 120 V ripple-free DC, and Band II covers voltages above Band I up to 1000 V AC. SELV and PELV systems operate within Band I limits.
