IET announces new amendment to BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations)

Lisa Miles
Hi all


Just read about this in the latest edition of Wiring Matters Magazine and thought it may be of interest!

    I have just had spin through my 18th Edition and I am going to be bold enough to say that SRCDs that comply with either BS 7288: 2009 or BS 7288:2016 cannot be installed as they would not comply with the requirements of BS 7671:2018.


    See Regulations 531.3.4.1 , 531.3.4.2 and 531.3.6.


    So they cannot be installed and on an EICR they would be a non-compliance so would require recording and coding.


    I have just checked my 1st Edition of the 17th (2008) and BS 7288 is not recognised there either. 


    They are recognised in the 16th Edition AMD 2 (2004). So how many have been installed in the last 11 years?
