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.

    If you are signing an 18th EICR, record as a deviation and unsatisfactory and let the recipient, possibly local council. make the decision.


    You are being asked to accept the risk and consequences of any incident and need to be prepared (and insured to give advice for a fee) to explain why you considered the new safety measures in the 18th to not be necessary.
