Which is the right fan for domestic installations?

What is Part P?
Electricity can be dangerous and more than a dozen people die through electrocution each year and a further 750 suffer serious injury. For this reason the Government introduced new legislation on 1st January 2005 through Part P of the Building Regulations.
Part P requires that electrical installation work must comply with BS 7671:2001 (The Wiring Regulations). Failure to comply with the requirement of Part P is a criminal offence. It also requires that all but the simplest of electrical installation work must either -
- be carried out by an electrician who is registered with a Part P competent person self-certification scheme.
     OR
- be notified to a building control authority prior to commencement of the work and be inspected, tested and certified following completion.
