All installations certified after 27th September 2022 must comply with BS7671 AMD 2.

Martin Desbrulais

We are currently completing design from Stage 4 to 5. The project has been on going since 2020 with a completion date of September 2024. There was a design Freeze in April 2022 which was signed off by fire engineer and building control.

Within BS7671 the regulation states that all installations "certified" after 27th September 2022 must comply with BS7671 AMD 2. Our query relates the the word "Certified" and what this relates to? Is it when the system is fully tested and a completion certificate received or is it when Building control sign the design as acceptable? Or does it relate to something different?

    Within BS7671 the regulation states that all installations "certified" after 27th September 2022 must comply with BS7671 AMD 2.

    Where does it say that exactly? So far I've only spotted the introduction to AMD 2 that says  'may be implemented immediately' and that the previous edition 'will be withdrawn on 27th September 2022'.  Previous editions put a time limit on the design (e.g. the 2018 edition said "Installations designed after 31st December 2018 are to comply with BS 7671:2018") (with the rare exception on AMD 1 which based it on erection, but those changes were limited to EVSE installations).

    The design limit was always argued over - as designs for very large projects can easily span two (or more) editions of BS 7671 - so I thought the intention these days was leave it down to a matter of contract - the customer can have the latest bells and whistles if they want, but it'll need paying for.
