Is this the AFDDDDD amendment ?

 

[timhoward]

But not available to read anywhere until tomorrow? I think I'll just wait for Buzz to explain it to us.

All most of us want to know is after lots of speculation, what does regulation 421.1.7 actually say about AFDDs.
And then we probably have 6 months to sell as many sensibly priced consumer unit upgrades as possible before things get truly silly...!

Publish date is 28th March so the guessing and speculation goes on. Be interested to see what this whole new chapter 8 is about.

I personally don't think AFDD devices will be mandated yet. Feel free to give me some stick if I'm wrong though

 

[newfutile]

All it say there on AFDD is: a new requirement for Arc Fault Detection Devices (AFDDs) in some AC final circuits for installations in some types of higher risk residential buildings;
whatever that means?

It can't just say that surely. There must be more?

 

[Dustydazzler]

Didn't the introduction of SPDs start in a similar way ?

 

[westward10]

Amen.

Will the OSG remain the same?

 

[Lister1987]

Will the OSG remain the same?

Course not, they'll change the colour, throw throw a few typos and 1 bit of information thry forgot last time around and they'll call it "new and improved'

Will the OSG remain the same?

Nope...and all the Guidance Notes will change as well

 

[cloverman]

Nope...and all the Guidance Notes will change as well

Yep ! The money making machine keeps rolling on

 

[neon1991]

so is the addition of AFDD's on all circuits up to 32a, for all installation or just higher risk installations such as high rise flats?? got a few consumer unit changes coming up in April and I dont think that the valid excuse of "regs change" is going to make up for the £500+ change in price

 

[Dustydazzler]

I am holding off quoting for AFDDs at the moment , for 2 reasons

1 They are crazy expensive

2 I am unconvinced that they even work
