NICEIC Certification Scheme NICEIC connections magazine

[Gavin John Hyde]

For people who are not members of NICEIC or Elecsa's various schemes, the current issue of connections magazine has some useful info in it about the changes in the 18th edition.
Some useful bits on how the certificates are changing and other useful sections. The bit on chasing up non payers could be useful given the recent threads chasing late payments.
Probably the most useful issue they have put together to date..
Worth a read.
For those who haven't had a copy drop in the letter box, then here is a link to a online version.

Any chance you could share the pdf, specifically the part about the changes to certificates?

 

[Gavin John Hyde]

have made a pdf using screen grabs, apologies if text is a little blurry when zooming in, as its new version bit hard to download at moment.

I posted up about this on one of those cinema threads the other day, got a snotty reply from one member saying "your point is".
Thats what happens when you waste half a day at the cinema you lose perspective.

So now all sockets, even those for specific items of equipment must be RCD protected.

Can get passive rcd spurs and sockets for fridges freezers etc that self reset in event of tripping. Obviously if there is a major fault then it wont reset but then defrosted food is least of your worries.

Or just cut off the plug and use an FCU.

A good way to still comply I am waiting for the shouts of invalidates the guarantee. However, there should not really be problems on its own RCBO circuit.
