Are any of the GNs going tombe available straight away? I usually find they are released at least a year after the new ammmendment.

If you bought the regs in january you would be buying them again on july 1st complete with amendments from march,April and may..are they called the regs because you need to buy them on a regular basis?

From Jan to June you can design and install to both standards but you must install to the new regs from July. I would not want to design to the 'old' regs in this period and risk the start date of a job being delayed. Then you may be caught on the back foot and look incompetent.

 

[telectrix]

nah. if the job is designed to current regs. and installed after the update, the design to the regs at time of design takes precedent.

Really? Infinantly?

That would be good. I’ll phone you so we can sort a date and time out.

 

[TJ Anderson]

Really? Infinantly?

Yeah, definately. Some jobs are designed years before they are installed.

But installations will be being designed this year to amendment 2, the work though may not be carried out for another year or 2 due to building works not being being completed butntenders need to be in so the jobs can be cost.
