On a new installation the new colour code must be used,but in an existing installation wired in the old colours you may use the new colour cable to make alterations and additions.
A warning label must be afixed to the consumers unit saying that the installation uses colour codes to two versions of BS7671 ( 16th ed regs ) its also a good idea to use the labels on any joint boxes with mixed cables.
