Developments reshaping the industry 2026 is a year of important updates across the sector. Amendment 4 On 15 April 2026, the IET and BSI published Amendment 4 to BS 7671:2018, with the outgoing edition due to be withdrawn on 15 October 2026. Amendment 4 introduces substantive updates, notably a new chapter on stationary secondary batteries, functional earthing/equipotential bonding for ICT systems, and a new section on power over ethernet (PoE), alongside a major revision to medical locations. Businesses can implement Amendment 4 immediately on publication and, after the six month transition, it will become the definitive standard for new work, modifications, and periodic inspection and testing.

Learn more about the Amendment 4 changes at niceic.com/amendment-four 6

Amendment 4 will not only help to bring the UK’s electrical regulations up to date with advancing technology but also enhance safety and professionalism across the sector. NICEIC has a full programme of support to help certified businesses prepare for the change.

Changes to the Electrotechnical Assessment Specification (EAS) The EAS is the industry agreed specification that electrotechnical businesses must meet to be certified with a certification or registration body in the UK. The EAS is applied industry-wide and is not specific to NICEIC. Clearer competence requirements for businesses undertaking periodic inspection and testing (EICRs) are already in effect.

On 1 October 2026, new work categories and qualification requirements came into effect for businesses undertaking the following low-carbon installation work: • Electric vehicle charging equipment (EVCE) • Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems • Electrical energy storage systems (EESS) • Micro wind turbine installation.

Learn about the EAS changes and the steps your business may need to take at niceic.com/eas-changes

Warm Homes Plan The Government’s Warm Homes Plan, published in January 2026, commits £15 billion to upgrade up to five million homes with measures including solar PV, battery storage, heat pumps and insulation. The plan also promises stronger standards for rented homes and establishes a new Warm Homes Agency to streamline delivery. Crucially, the government outlined plans to invest in the skills needed to expand and upskill the installer base. The plan looks set to boost demand for renewable and low carbon installations, creating significant opportunities for skilled and qualified installers.
