The Green Book

Hi all,

I read in this forum some days ago about the amended 17th and a new book. So, we have to buy a new 7671 book, a new on site guide and of course the guidance notes as well?

I think they should go for an electronic version which then can be updated easily and cheap and it won't get dirty . It is not our fault if they can't make up their minds but we have to pay for it.

The amendments will be posted on the IEE site and you can write them in. Shouldn't be any need to repurchase all of your books. It is an amendment - not a new edition.

Get your wallets out:- New Green Book, New OSG, New GN1 and New GN3!!!!
Once the regs to a British Standard, every new amendment means a new book.

They are available electronically, just that the cost is somewhere in the region of £200, for the Regs, the OSG and all the GNs.

I doubt this will be possible and whether you would really want to. There's a whole new section and lots of changes. I wouldn't sit there writing all the new changes in. Cheaper and more cost effective to just buy a new one!!!

New book = £60

@ cheapest per hour rate (not mine) of £20p/h = 3hrs work (and that wouldn't be all of it) you'd be out of pocket!!!! There's lots of little changes...

All the changes in the new book are marked by a vertical line on the right hand side of the page.....

You can offset it anyway.....
