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?

    The fact that my wife doesn’t think it’s a good idea and would not be prepared to pay the current prices for the AFDD is probably the best reason I can give for dropping the proposal for AFDD in the amendment.


    Maybe if the manufacturers had been running advertisements in home improvement and lifestyle magazines in print and online for a couple of years there may be some consumer demand, but like all things electrical the advertising is just pitched at electricians to try and get them to sell their products for them.
