18th Edition

Former Community Member over 4 years ago

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.

Thank you for the replies and good information given. I can see in many situations there would be no need to change/upgrade the hook ups due to reg changes, ie if they where still electrically and mechanically safe but as you point out the lack of an interlocked switch does raise issues that in my opinion can't be justified by citing the the old regs.

Thanks again for for help and advice.
