UK - Design Standards

[UKEng]

For installations below 1000v in the UK we use BS7671 16th edition as our standard for design and installation.
Do we have an equivalent for installations above 1000v, that is, to what standards do we design our HV networks and Industrial distribution networks. Out of interest could people from other countries please advise on their own national standards

Many thanks in advance

Paul

The main driver in the UK is the Electricity at Work Regs 1989 which is the statutory document
Designing to BS7671 is considered a "good interperetation" of this set of Regs - BS7671 itself is not statutory

For all UK electrical systems the statutory document is the Electricity as Work Regs 1989 From power points to Power stations!

The Regional Electricity Companies in UK work to The Electricity Supply Regulations 1988 which is also statutory

There are also other stautory acts - Mines & Quarries or Cinematograph for example which do overlap with the EWA 1989
Hope this helps
