Can I ask what are the rules of when the 18th must be applied over the 17th edition. I note in the front of the Regs it mentions the date 31st December 2018. However I’m looking at a scheme where the consultant performance specification was written in 2017 which has been revised a number of times in 2019 and 2020 and now a detailed design is required ready for install. The performance specification mentions the 17th edition all the way through it so what are the rules on this? Surely just because this has been sat on a shelf for a period of time the 17th edition must now be replaced with the 18th edition? I’m presuming there is a time window for this and I don’t know if to complete the design and install it as per the 17th if I would be breaking it.
There might also be some legal considerations - e.g. if the scheme is for private rented dwellings (e.g. block of flats) then the The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 are likely to require compliance with BS 7671:2018 before they can be rented out.
