Why not?I am sorry but after July 1st you should not be installing to a previous version of BS7671.
Why not?
What if a job starts this year but continues past July next year?
What do you mean why not? Because we are told to. Because the law states we follow BS7671 and that is what we are here to do. If it was me I would start talking with my clients and advising them of their options. Ultimately after the 1st July you cannot work to an old version of the regs. We all have 6 months to sort this out so therebis no excuse. I really was expecting better than this on here.

What law would that be then?
You do realise that BS7671 is only a guide and not a statute document, meaning we can choose to ignore it completly if we wish?
we all cant be the best spark in the commercial sector can we.
I knew you would say that. And a typical comment from a not very intelligent electrician
I knew you would say that. And a typical comment from a not very intelligent electrician. The building regs (which is law) state that all electrical work must comply with BS7671 so if you do choose to ignore BS7671 then you would be in breach of the building regs.
Also any court within the UK would use the BS7671 document as a bench mark for installation standards just as they use the Highway Code for traffic offences even though that document is also not law as you put it.
With advice like yours who needs Domestic Installers?
So we have resorted to name calling have we? I thought maybe we could have a mature conversation, obviously not.

Stratford Olympic site, designed and installed to the 16th edition.
Temporary power and lighting for the Olympic site, designed and installed to the 17th edition.
Conversion of atheletes' accommodation to flats and apartments, designed and installed to the 16th edition, completed in April 2014.
Maybe before you start calling people names and try and justify your reasonsing with futher derogatory comments you get your own facts straight first. The only LAW covering electrical installations in the uk is the Electricity at Work Regulation 1989

See you in the Foresters sometime in the new year?
ah i see now why tony likes it in thereif i'm ever in high speed pursuit of robin hood, i'll let you know and meet in the foresters.
july actually, the regs is just released in janUKES. The key part is it is only for installations designed on or after January 2015. It is not retrospective.
That may be open to interpretation that one Shanky, that is the transition period. I wouldn't design in the transition to old regs and then install beyond that 6 months as I could just as easily design to new regs.july actually, the regs is just released in jan
So thats now twice today you have read something I Have posted and interpreted it completly wrong, unless I am wrong then can you please post up any posts where I have said that please?
I know that there have been many concerns regarding this particular issue, particularly due to the Olympic Site.I have no evidence to believe you or disbelieve you I can only read what the guidelines say about this amendment which is that after the 1st July ALL INSTALLATIONS must be installed to amendment 3.
