French wiring regs

[Anthony Rowland]

Does anyone know of any books that have french wiring regs in and where I might get hold of a copy?

I don't know about the true "regulations" and I guess what you want depends on what you a planning to do (e.g. a few extra DIY sockets or work as a professional). However, Leclerc has a number of booklets on how to do various things in your house (including one on electrical stuff).

Also Leroy Merlin has pamphlets on different DIY tasks (including one on electrical things). Also, Leroy Merlin do sell quite a few book. I've not actually seen them in their stores though have on their web site (http://www.leroymerlin.fr/mpng2-front/pre?zone=zonecatalogue&idLSPub=1048863677).

Hope this helps.

I can recommend this book on French electrics L'installation électrique, it's my bible at the moment.

Regarding the regs, try www.promotelec.com and I think you can buy from their library. I've a feeling they where very expensive (100's of euros). The www.legrand.fr site also has lots of useful info about NF C 15-100.

I quick search on Google of "NF C 15-100" reveals quite a bit but nothing for free !

I'd recommend "Maitriser L'electricite", and

"L'electricite pas a pas",

both available form Leclerc for a few euros.

There's a good faq here, where there is a link to somewhere you can buy the code and also answers to other questions.
