An Installation designed in 2018 to BS7671:2008 (2015) 17th edition and constructed in 2019 (BS7671:2018 18th edition), has to be verified against the current standard?
Agreed - initial verification (as with construction) should be based on the design - and signed off on the same certificate as the design & construction - so all need to be based on the same version of the regs (otherwise things rapidly get very silly).
Subsequent periodic inspection need of course to be based on the regs at the time of those inspections, but that's a separate matter.
