Amendment 1 - 18th edition 2020-02-03

[Zdb]

Zdb submitted a new resource:

Amendment 1 - 18th edition - BS7671

Amendment 1 of BS7671 - 18th edition. This is free to download and replaces section 722 for electric vehicle charging.

Read more about this resource...

 

[telectrix]

have they decided that PME is OK now? or are they proposing 200 mile extension leads?

 

[SJD]

I downloaded this amendment 1 from the ELECSA website, and thought it would be handy to print a copy to keep with my BS7671. But it won't print, and in fact every page has the stupid "Do not print" working three times at the top and at the bottom of every page.

Now I fortunately don't install EV charging kit, but if I ever come across some e.g. doing an EICR, all I'll have with me is the 18th Edition without this amendment (I don't carry a laptop around).

Can anyone tell me why the IET thought it a good idea that nobody should be able to print this?

 

[Zdb]

I thought that the whole Idea of a free download was that it could be printed and popped into the BBB.

Absolute joke that it cant be printed.

I'm sure someone will find a way

Try this version. It prints from my laptop, but I run linux. Might be different for other OS's.

A clean copy if anyone wants.

Thank you Strima.

Thank you Strima.

It makes for an interesting read.

Would someone like to explain; I don't do installation work anymore, but just curious should I decide to have one installed myself.

I have an idea of the current regs with regards PME and chargers, and the options to use, i.e. one that doesn't need a rod and disconnects live conductors in the event of voltage between cpc & earth etc. But this seems to add more detail (which is above my head )

Thanks

Don’t bother as it’s full of mistakes, they’ve recently added a corrigendum to put right the mistakes

 

[Zdb]

A corrigendum for amendment one? That's just embarrassing

Yep, absolute shambles

 

[Zdb]

Just thought I'd leave this here if anyone wanted the corrigendum separately.

Here you go

Thank you

So anyone doing the exam from now will need to take into account corrigendum May 2020?

You'd probably need to take in the big blue book, the corrigendum for that, amendment one and the corrigendum for amendment one. So 3x separate documents as well as the regs book.



Shambles much?
