Section A: Statutory & Non-Statutory Documentation (8 Questions)
Q1: A newly qualified electrician is reviewing the documentation required before
commencing work on a domestic consumer unit replacement. He notes that the
Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 are
documents that impose legal obligations. These documents are best classified as:
A. Non-statutory guidance documents representing best practice only
B. Statutory documents required by law [CORRECT]
C. Model forms found in Appendix 6 of BS 7671
D. Manufacturer's technical datasheets
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Statutory documents are those required by law, such as the Electricity at
Work Regulations 1989 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. Option A describes
non-statutory documents like BS 7671 or IET Guidance Notes, C refers to certification
forms, and D refers to product-specific information.
Q2: An apprentice is studying BS 7671:2018+A2:2022 and the IET On-Site Guide. His
supervisor explains that while these documents are essential for safe electrical
,installation, they are not Acts of Parliament and non-compliance does not automatically
constitute a criminal offence. These documents are classified as:
A. Statutory instruments with legal force
B. Non-statutory documents that represent best practice [CORRECT]
C. European directives with mandatory application
D. Building Regulation Approved Documents
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: BS 7671 and IET Guidance Notes are non-statutory documents—they provide
best practice guidance but are not legally binding in themselves. Option A incorrectly
attributes statutory status, C misidentifies their origin, and D confuses them with
Building Regulations Approved Documents.
Q3: A contractor has completed a full rewire of a three-bedroom domestic property,
including a new consumer unit and six new circuits. Before energising the installation,
he must carry out initial verification to confirm compliance with BS 7671. The primary
purpose of initial verification is:

B. To confirm that the installation complies with the requirements of BS 7671
[CORRECT]
C. To determine the age of the existing installation
D. To calculate the electricity consumption of the property

alteration complies with BS 7671. Option A describes an estimating function, C
describes periodic inspection, and D is unrelated to verification.

domestic dwelling, the electrician must issue the appropriate certificate. For this new
installation work, the correct certificate is the:
A. Minor Electrical Installation Works Certificate (MEIWC)

major alterations extending to new circuits. Option A is for minor additions not
extending to new circuits, B is for periodic inspection of existing installations, and D is
insufficient on its own.

circuit in a kitchen. No new circuits are added, and the existing protective measures
