Electricity Act 1992

Electrical codes of practice

43: Codes promulgated under Electricity Act 1968

You could also call this:

“Old electrical rules are still used under the new law”

If you had any electrical codes of practice that were made under the old Electricity Act 1968 and were still being used just before 1 April 1993, those codes are still valid. They now work under the new rules. You can change these codes or cancel them if needed, just like any other current electrical codes.
