[Guest123]

Hi all.

I'm interested in obtaining any/all older versions of BS 7671. If you have or know of anyone that has any of the early versions then could you let me know please either by replying here or via PM.

I have included a list of titles and dates of publication.

Many thanks

Hi ya Lenny

Not sure if this'll be any interest to you but I have a book "A guide to the 15th Edition" by JF Whitfeild you're more than welcome to it - it's not new condition but not bad considering.

 

[topquark]

I have a copy of the 16th and the associated GN3 for it.

 

[IQ Electrical]

I'd also like the 1st Edition, I might even pay more than Lenny!

 

[stevedoust]

I have copy of 14th in good condition, copy of 11th in OK condition, and several photocopies of 1st edition (A3).
Sadly I am in New Zealand.

Nercomancy I know but would you be will to scan those to PDF Pete? I've got s pdf of the 14th edition but that's the oldest I've found

 

[StephenRowley]

There was a copy of the 13th floating a out in draw in the mess room at work.

I'm not quite sure why as I don't think even the 13th addition has much to say about 275kv substations.

 

[Lister1987]

I just want a copy out of curiosity and to get an idea of the standards at the time, given that there is still a fair bit out there.
