BICC or BS7671 comply for design

Hello IET guys

I have a problem where a cable installed on site doesn't comply to Bs7671 current carrying capacity for underground cable reference method D

the engineer who design the cable used amtech and data from bicc with reference method 110.

Dose bicc comply? As its old data for cables install in any country from what I can see. I would have thought bs7671 design must be used?

Hello,

This is a great thread but I would just like to highlight a point raised in the initial post that I am still not clear about, ie does BICC comply with current regs? I would also like to know what is the purpose of BICC and why not use BS7671 as the main reference for UK work? Also, OMS mentioned there is "good correlation" between the two but it sounds like its not perfect so when the results are different I assume you go with the BS7671 result, which brings me back to why use BICC at all?
