18th Edition

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
A question for all you experts please.

Where would I find in writing that an installation done a few years ago is still OK for use by the public that now does not now compile with 18th edition.

An example would be caravan hook ups Regulation 708.55.1.1 requires that every socket-outlet or connector shall either comply with: BS EN 60309-2 and shall be interlocked and classified to clause 6.1.5 of BS EN 60309-1:1999 to prevent the socket contacts being live when accessible. The hook ups on site don't have this, as installed under I guess17th edition. I informed this situation is correct/legal but where can I find it in writing?

Many thanks for any help.

    Have a search around in this forum for discussions concerning whether the Regs are retrospective.

    Introduction to BS 7671:2018


    ... Existing installations that have been installed in accordance with earlier editions of the Regulations may not comply with this edition in every respect. This does not necessarily mean that they are unsafe for continued use or require upgrading.
