Appendix 9: NOTES to Figures 9A and 9B - typo

Ian Yates
In Appendix 9, Fig 9A and Fig 9b have arrows pointing to different parts of the diagrams. The arrows are labelled a), b,) c) and d). The NOTES to Figures 9A and 9B are labelled (1), (2), (3) and (4). I believe that this is a typo that crept in Amendment 3 (possibly Amendment 2) of the Seventeenth Edition, probably as a result of the Appendix being inconsistent in it's labeling of the various diagrams.


According to Amendment 1 of the Seventeenth - Note (1) corresponds to arrow a), Note (2) corresponds to arrow b), etc.


Apologies if this is not the correct use of the forum but I am not sure where else to post this so that it get picked up for the next amendment.

    The message may get to the right place, but posting here does not guarantee this. To make sure an error is corrected in a standard you really need to send a message to the responsible committee, which for BS 7671 is JPEL/64, a joint BSI/IET committee. They can be contacted via the BSI Standards Development page https://standardsdevelopment.bsigroup.com/committees/50001574, though you may need to register before you can do so (after all, if they have any questions about your suggestion they need to know how to contact you).

    Thank you Alasdair, I have copied my post to the joint BSi / IET JPEL/64 Committee by following the link you provided. As you surmised, I did have to log in. Regards Ian.

    I'll also forward this to the guys in our Standards Team who oversee the regs. ?

    Oh look another error in BS 7671 & associated documents.

    It's embarrassing to be honest the number of errors that are in the latest suite.

    The electronic package is still very poor.

    Paul, can you elaborate on that? I did have the 17th electronic package but found it frustratingly awkward and to add insult I lost access once the licence period expired. It seems daft that approaching 2020 we are still using paper books for technical reference. The reason for not going pdf like almost every other British standard is likely concern about copyright abuse and revenue streams but it certainly impedes ease of access.
