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?

    So then we discussed the next stage. I pointed out that the deadline is 28 March 2022, 'cos after that, the brand new shiny CU is obsolete!

    Regs change dates are usually for the design rather than installation phase - so "design" the CU replacement now and install it whenever you like!

    The intro to 18th Edition does indeed refer to Design, but interestingly the intro to AMD2 refers to erection.

    So the proposed timeline seems to be:



    • publish 28th March 2022 

    • compulsory from 28th March 2023 for erection stage

    Humm - I can imagine that not going down well with some of the larger projects...
