I bear good news..................

[SirKit Breaker]

And bad unfortunately!

BS7671 is now on its 3rd amendment. A British Standard can only be amended 3 times. Thats the good news then, it can't be amended again, so guess what? 2018 will see an all new version of BS7671, called the 18th Edition.

You heard it here first, so get saving, it'll be around the £100 mark by then................:mad2:

Cheers..............Howard

As long as they bring back the bonding to door handles and aluminium window frames it'll be worth every penny.

 

[Richard Burns]

Was all hopeful for a minute there!
I hope you noticed the sarcastic thanks button I used!

Heard that about 2 months ago at one of the Megger / NAPIT amendment 3 meetings they were running, but was lead to believe they could only amend a BS twice and the IET had to get a dispensation for a third amendment

You are probably right mate, but it all adds up to the same thing.......SPEND SPEND SPEND as Mrs Nicholson would say

You have not missed much. The first few chapters give a very detailed description of each caricature. In the end, Professor Ze (related to Vicar Ra, but dont get me started on that sub-line story!) murdered Mrs Zs in the RFC as explained in Appendix 15!!!!


Knew I should have read 50 shades of grey again?

...All this reminds me of my wait for the next version of another favourite journal...not nearly as precise,forgiving or descriptive as the first...but my peers cajoled me to"keep-up"... so that's how i ended up forking out for the "New testament"...

Sod 50 shades of grey, I’m struggling getting through 50 shades of Pink Minx at the moment.



Have you read any of Tolkien’s works? They’re worse than anything the IET or NFPA could come up with? Back and forth between the index, genealogy tables, cross references, etc. by the time you’ve found what you were looking for you will have forgotten the story.
I hope a Norwegian friend of mine doesn’t read this, he’s Tolkien’s biographer, I’ll never hear the last of it.
He came to visit me, I thought I’d never get him out of the “The Trip to Jerusalem”, it is like a Hobbit hole.

It is just like the BS5839. Took one look at the cover and thought, too many alarms bells with this book.

 

[Welchyboy1]

Hey tel, do you have a RCD trip time measurement function on your multifunction tester? How do you check its accuracy?

 

[telectrix]

test the same RCD at home every 3 months. expect the times to be close to the last ones.

Do the results change much? I knew there was a reason to go and invest in a non-combustible enclosure and some o' them there new fangled RCD things!

 

[telectrix]

generally within a couple of mSec.

Ahh, but L, you forgot the climate controlled chamber to ensure a consistent test environment for the testing of the tester as specified by E54 ... where are those experts when you need them!

More expense ... !
