OP
Sounds about right. That'll be some reading time on a tour bus, then. Oh - and don't forget the additional cost of a new OSG to go with it......
When's A2 coming out
When I started see his post, my god me though coming out has gay.

Anyone else think they just make amendments to scam us out of money.. I mean how do you write a regs book and then straight away start talking about amendments to that regs book that you have just released... Can you imagine if Sparkies did that.. Ok mr customer here is your new ring final circuit all installed and tested ok for you, now in a years time there is going to be some changes so ill come back and rewire it all for you in a years time, dont worry though ill change the colour so you know you getting something different but you will need that new colour and a complete rewire even though there are only relatively minor changes and 99% will be the same and I will have to charge you full price again.. Cya
Do you use the OSG much? I've never got on with it or structure and find the ProCerts "Electrical Tools" app much quicker to use. I'd pretty much decided not to get the next OSG.
Just orded some crayons ready to change the front colour. It's definitely pink this time.
Yeah it is beyond a joke really and not very green to be throwing away books every 2 or so years! They should be in a binder and just pull out the bits/sections that have changed and insert new ones!
I have a lot of the old ones back to about the last 15th edition and onwards they are a weighty bunch now and will be adding more to them again in March!

I am sure the IET will reply that you can buy an online subscription so its available electronically.. But of course then you pay a yearly subscription.. Ill probably buy the BS7671 book just because that will be required by CPS but think I will keep the old onsite guide. I am sure as soon as the new amendment is released they will announce the 19th edition in a few years which will be more books and then money out on a test.. Kerching..
However you have it be it paper or digital they get their pound of flesh!
It really boils my pee that all reference books are so ridiculously expensive, ok so I appreciate that time has gone into writing and printing them but they should be affordable to all!
I have a 5 year old and wish to help her to read and write, the books that will help her are from £40 to £90 each, yes each!! I will still buy them though most likely second hand as I wish her to have the best chances she can in life!
But it is an obscene amount of money for something that is only usefull for 1 term at school and then I have to do it all again for year 2, 3, ect!

Is that a one off purchase, or do you need to buy it again after each amendment to BS7671?
Thanks, I've emailed them to ask. It looks like a handy app, looks like they have several apps as well, the very basic calculators might be handy if having a brain fart.
Even though it's Saturday they haven't been slow to reply...here you go:
Thank you for your enquiry.
Whilst we cannot guarantee there won’t be any future costs, to date since launch (in 2013) we have been able to apply updates without charging any extra for those updates and we hope to continue this for a long as we can sustain it.
