BS7671;2018 Minor works certificates.

Sparkingchip
Are you all organised and have a supply of the new certificates to hand?


What do you actually think of them?

    For additional protection the worst case scenario should be used, and this would normally be the 1Δn reading. No idea why they have removed the 5Δn column?

    Andrew Betteridge:

    I've confused myself.


    The Minor works Certificates in the link above are the BS7671:2008 version.


    I thought that we were going to be expected to use the draft version of BS7671:2018, but that version didn't make it into the final version of BS7671:2018.


    So the new version requires more information, but not as much as I was expecting from having looked at the draft version, which wanted additional information including Zdb and the name of the manufacturer of the circuit protective device which would have highlighted the installation of devices that were not original consumer unit equipment manufacturers devices.

    Andy,


    If you look on the right hand side of the page, there's a download link for the 2018 versions of the forms ... in the big green panel with the picture above ... I know that download link works as I've used it myself.

    Yes, in what has become the tradition, 18th Edition forms are available here: https://electrical.theiet.org/bs-7671/model-forms/


    Have you got to the bottom of which trip time (longest @ IΔn or longest @ 5IΔn) is required to be entered into the RCD disconnection time in Part 4 of the Minor Works (or field 22 of the Generic Schedule of Test Results)?
