"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.

    Well if you are going to go “over the top” it won’t be achieved at the discretion of electrical contractors. They are very much price-driven and less likely to consider the technical nuances of RCDs, especially on the domestic front. So if consumer units populated with type AC RCDs are for sale legitimately, then whilst they remain cheaper, they will be legitimately installed.
