So sparkys can charge customers more than the charged whoever recommended them. Because the board they are fitting is up to 18th edition . it makes customers feel good knowing they have bought the latest kit .

There's your answer Pete.

I gathered that, so why call them 18th edition CUs?

I would say mainly marketing, but some have made changes. For instance Hager's consumer units marked up "18th" now come with 100A RCDs as standard instead of 63A and 80A options, the RCDs are type A not type AC, and some include SPDs.

You need to be able to operate the fuse board in the event a horse crashes through the house and attempts to chew on it.
So it needs to be horse proof... can’t believe you didn’t know that

So the suppliers can charge extra for them, the same goes for 18th edition MFT’s.

I presume an 18th edition board is the same as a 17th edition board?
