AFDDs AMD 2

John Peckham
In response to the suggestion of separate threads for individual changes to the 18th I thought I would start this one for AFDDs.


So what are the forum members views on the new requirement for AFDDs?


What is the safety case for the change? E.g impact on public safety, fires etc.Evidence?


What is the impact on the installation industry? How easy to fit, cost advantages disadvantages etc?


Will you feedback to the BSI on the changes and what will you say?

    Hire a qualifed experienced electrician who will make sure that all your electrical terminations are correctly tightened..

    Although we know that this is unlikely to happen 100% and some will slip though.

    The fault may well fall on the design, manufacture and installation at the manufacturing stages of ready assembled accessories such as distribution boards.

    I remember installing a CCU where, a few weeks later, the client complained that one of the fuse holders flew off out of the fuse board. It was later found that the fuse holder in question was attached lose on the live rail and was not checked at the installation stage.
