Just to expand slightly on Spec's reply.New work, or alterations, to a circuit should still comply with the current regs,But aspects of the installation that are not directly involved with the changes you are working on remain as they are,
complying with an earlier version of the regs.
i.e. working on a lighting circuit, you have no obligation to alter or improve the Socket circuit.
Absolutely Mr S!Just to expand slightly on Spec's reply.If you are putting a new lighting circuit in then the other circuits do not concern you as they are not directly related to your work. (as explained above)
However the earthing and bonding is, as that is related to your lighting circuit (because it is part of the earth path of your circuit). So the main earth and bonding to the gas, water and any extrenous metal work should be brought up to the current standards.

Cheers mate, I have missed being here. I have several new grey hairs that seem to have appeared suddenly, whats next patent balding? :_|Evenin` all! Special hello to Mr. ABC tech. We`ve missed you bud!
would agree, would not agree,The stupidist question is "Is this a code 4?"So an inspection can only be against the current regs. By the time someone has an inspection, the regs have been replaced, so his installation won't comply.
Now there's a special number for non compliance with current regs that complied with older regs, code 4.
To be able to correctly attribute code 4 instead of codes 1 or 2 or very infrequently 3 an electrician should know what was allowed by every edition from 1. Phew! I joined the industry during the 13th edition; younger guys wouldn't believe what was allowed there.
All a load of the dog's whatsits innit?
