    Amendment 3 2024, BS7671 2018.

    I can't see any thread started on the amendment, this is because. .. A) I've had one strong beer and haven't looked hard enough. B) It's not terribly important. C) No one has thought about it yet. Is this going to have much of an effect on us? Personally, I don't fit PV or battery installs. I...

    UK Do I need to update my 18th edition for Amendment 2 ?

    Got my 18th Ed certificate late last year, now doing 2391. Obviously Amendment 2 has come out since then, and I see these courses available to update your 18th accordingly. But at what point would this be needed? I assume it's not a legal requirement. If I got my 2391 and NVQ in the next year...
