BS 7671 Amendment 4:2026 · C&G 2382-26 update
The 2382-26 assessment is open book, but open book still needs navigation practice. This independent pack helps you map topics to parts, chapters, sections, appendices and tables in your own current copy.
The trap nobody warns you about
City & Guilds says 2382-26 is the latest Amendment 4 version and centres must use it from 16 April 2026. The IET describes Amendment 4 as a current update to BS 7671:2018. That means old notes and old tabs need checking against the current book.
The practical problem is simple: timed open-book work rewards quick routing. You need a repeatable way to decide where to look, confirm the relevant location, and move on.
The clock, not the content. Years on the tools doesn't help when each lookup costs you a minute you don't have.
Old muscle memory. If you trained on the Amendment 2/3 book, your instinct points at the wrong page.
The new A4 content. Energy storage, prosumer installs, EV open-PEN, ICT earthing — brand-new places to get lost.
The method
This is not the qualification and it does not replace studying the standard. It gives you a structured workflow for locating material in your own copy.
Type "RCD", "battery storage", "open-PEN", "Zs", "bonding"… and instantly get the exact Part / Chapter / Section / Regulation / Appendix / Table to open in your own book. 70+ locators, with the A4 hotspots flagged. Practise until the locations are reflex.
Realistic exam-style prompts against a timer. Your job isn't to answer — it's to say where you'd look before time runs out. It tracks your average lookup time so you can compare it with your own timing target before exam day.
A Tab Planner that prints a colour-coded cutting guide, a printable navigation index, and an A3 → A4 diff so your tabs point at the new locations — not where things used to be.
What you get
A real, working web app you open in any browser. Runs entirely offline — nothing is ever uploaded. Search, drill, diff and tab-plan in one place.
The full strategy: the Part map, the per-question loop, the flag-and-return rule, and a 7-day run-in plan.
Every topic → location, ready to print as a candidate index sheet for beside the book.
24 priority tabs with labels, Part, colour and cut order so your book has a clear navigation structure.
What's new, what moved, what to re-verify — so old muscle memory doesn't cost you.
A nerve-settler with the 2-question reflex and the per-question loop to run in the room.

Straight answers
No. This is an independent, unofficial study aid. It is not affiliated with the IET, BSI, City & Guilds, EAL or NICEIC, and it is not the exam or the qualification. It's a tool to make you faster at navigating your own copy of the standard. Book the actual 2382-26 through an accredited provider.
Deliberately not. BS 7671 is BSI/IET copyright. This pack contains no reproduced regulation text — it indexes publicly-known regulation numbers, section titles and locations so you can find things in your own book faster. That's also why it works: the skill is reading the real standard quickly, not memorising a paraphrase.
Yes — and you should. This solves the speed problem, not the knowledge problem. It's designed to sit alongside your own current copy of BS 7671:2018+A4:2026 and whatever course or revision you're doing.
Especially then. The A3 → A4 diff exists precisely so your old muscle memory doesn't send you to the wrong page — it shows what moved, what's new (energy storage, prosumer, EV open-PEN, ICT earthing) and what to re-verify.
Amendment 4 renumbers things, so some locators are given as a strong pointer ("around 730", "722.411 area") that you confirm in your own copy. The pack is explicit about this and tells you to verify. The durable skill is the navigation habit, not memorising a number BSI might move.
Instant download after checkout. The Navigator is a self-contained web app — open index.html in any browser and it runs fully offline. Nothing you type is ever uploaded.
Email within 30 days for a refund if the pack does not make your open-book navigation practice clearer. Checkout, support and refund details must be shown before purchase.
Use the tool with your own current copy, then confirm all logistics with your provider.
