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?

    You need to follow the new rules of BS 7671 AMD 2 for your electrical work. You need to have one of the current certs for your work after 27th September 2022. The date of the cert is usually when the person who gives it signs it. It doesn’t matter when the fire engineer or building control approves the design, or when the system is fully tested and a finish paper is given. It matters when you give or receive one of the certificates.

    Sadly, this is not always the case, for work or contracts agreed earlier, as discussed above, although should be for new work being agreed right now.
