"17 edition"consumer units still being sold.

hertzal123
After watching a webinar describing the dangers of using dual rcd cu,s with type AC rcd supplying dishwashers,induction hobs etc,

I was wondering why,more than 12months after 18th came into force,they are still for sale.Thanks for any opinions.

    By 17th Ed ones do you mean plastic cased ones? These can still legitimately be used in non-domestic situations (e.g. small offices etc) and possibly detached domestic outbuildings.


    Likewise AC type RCDs might still be OK for some situations - you pays your money and you takes your choice.


    As for why, I guess some of the supply chain moves more slowly than others - and those with the stock aren't going to want to bin it at a loss if it can still be sold for a profit.
