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

I read that discussion from the old forum again and looked up the same regs the the 18th.


The implication is that on a farm you have to add the requirements of the special location regs to the general regs, so by stating an additional requirement for farms that indicates it is not a general requirement, so if farms have to have RCDs in circuit rather than RCD protected sockets as an additional requirement, it’s not an general requirement.


That is one for the wordsmiths to hammer out.
