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?

    What coding are you going to use on this one John? based on your code of C2, potentially dangerous, for the all insulated pendant lamp fiasco still dragging on, can we assume this will be a C1+++? Immediate remedy? That is going to go down like a lead balloon to customers who have been ripped off and forced wrongly to have a metal fusebox installed in the last year or so which would have given years of service  just to accommodate the new device. What is going to happen? the old box handed to the local rag and bone man on Sunday morning when he rings his bell. And then another grand handed over for another box fitted. 


    Public consultation? dont your friends on the committee read these topics? I see you are already using the catch all term "fire". Suddenly we will see a report of XXXXs of fires which we have not heard of before.


    As a special treat, we will be invited to purchase "IET guide to AFDDs" 1st of many editions, £200, discount for cash.
