The faithful twin and earth cable era is ending as the electrical industry gears up to welcome the new BS12721:2024 residential cable standard. This standard will ensure safer and more efficient wiring for your home. However, it also means that the trusty BS6004 cable will be phased out and cannot be used for new home construction or rewiring starting in April 2024. It's time to bid adieu to an old friend and look forward to the innovative upgrades that the future holds.
