Implications of the term 'recommended' in 7671

Farmboy

In this video: https://youtu.be/aoWuEnvLa3I the term 'recommended' in 7671 is taken to mean that doing nothing is not an option, so applying that to AFDDs means that we have to install them on socket ccts up to 32As in all premises, not just those defined in 7671, unless we can show that AFDDs are not required or their absence is not a problem.

So do you agree with the interpretation and its implication(s)?

    The OSG is a recommendation of what we might do to conform to BS7671, it is not the only way though.

    The Part P approved doc is what we might do in order to comply with Part P (the Law) .

    Again not the only way. 

    Should we always follow the recommendations? Often yes in practical reality.

    Must we always follow it? Well no not quite absolutely always.

    When the original Part P approved doc came out it mentioned following BS7671 or an equivalent European Standard. That did not preclude working to Nigeran Standards if it is believed that Nigeria is a civilised safe country. You could work to USA standards if you believed that the USA is a civilised.......................................... Oh hang on , there are only two people in the world who believe USA to be civilised and they are not here today. Ok but you see the point.

    We must separate the normative from the informative and make the judgement call.
