Which guide
Which page should you read?
If you are looking for one long restatement of every rule, this is not it. Use the row that matches the decision you are making, then open that guide.
Reviewed 6 October 2026 by George Opsenica (Director, Codeex Maintenance Ltd). General guidance, not a reading of your own report and not legal advice.
What each reviewer checked
- George Opsenica: Owner presentation of this current page. Source-based regulatory editorial review of the exact current fresh regulatory sentences. Approval of this wording does not close the 30 November 2026 recheck. This is not a technical electrical review and it is not legal advice..

One legal boundary on this index
On 6 October 2026 the legislation.gov.uk page for the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector and Social Rented Sector (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2026 still describes the instrument as a draft that has not yet been made as a UK Statutory Instrument.
That page states a commencement of 30 November 2026.
This page does not treat that draft as the current rules.
Recheck on 30 November 2026.
That is the only legal proposition this index states. The draft article sets out the detail.
