Talk on another forum suggests that BS 546 is to be withdrawn.
What are the views of members about this, and in particular with regard to rented properties. It seems to be generally accepted that the IET regulations are retrospective with regards to rented properties, and that compliance with the latest edition, including amendments is required before letting a home.
Does this mean an automatic fail for any home with BS 546 socket outlets ? There are loads used for final connections to immersion heaters and storage heaters. And in better specified homes for connection of portable lamps in order that these may be switched from the door.
