Hi all


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

  • The NICEIC, ECA and ELECSA disagree.


    When the 17th Edition (BS 7671: 2008) was published, only BS EN 61008-1 and BS EN 61009-1 were still listed (Regulation 411.4.9 refers). However, this does not preclude the use of RCDs to BS 4293, BS 7288 and BS 7071, where appropriate, for fault protection and/or additional protection, provided they meet the relevant operating time requirements.
