First sentence: There are two very significant dates in the development of BS 7671 'Requirements for electrical installations'; they are: (i) 11 May 1882 when the Society of Telegraph Engineers and Electricians appointed a committee, to consider and report upon the rules they would recommend for the prevention of fire risks arising from the use of electric light, and (ii) 2 October 1992 when the British Standards Institution (BSI) and the IEE signed an agreement which made the 16th Edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations into British Standard 7671.
