18th edition question

[chris day]

Not been on the 18th edition course yet.

In short what are the design changes I will need to implement come jan 1st on a domestic re-wire?

Funnily enough this is almost word for word the objections raised on the course, however if you stop to think about what you have said you are suggesting the firefighters will give up and let the occupants die when ceilings collapse, they wont, and they don't need dangling wiring getting in their way

If and I say IF the IET meant plasterboard isn’t acceptable, they should update the BBB immediately and give all the existing holders of it a new copy

Unfortunately, they would've almost certainly died from the smoke by that stage.

You are projecting an opinion onto the forum that this un named tutor IS correct and we must all fall into line

Are you the tutor?

My mate down the pub says plasterboard is ok ....

I don't give a stuff what anyone else does mate, I'm simply stating my belief that what I was told on the course is correct and likely to be the guidance that will be issued in due course.

Are you not going to name the training company or deny you are the tutor?

Ok, so what would be the practical solution when rewiring, take entire ceilings down or floors up ?

So all EICR’s from January 2019 will have this as a C3?

If you'd said that in the first place ...

That is totally unacceptable

The 18th edition should be unambiguous ...... from day 1

I can assure you I am not a tutor and never have been! As the course is ongoing I will not name the provider at the present time, I may well do when I have completed it. Week 3 of 6 next week.

Well .... please tell them not to dish out misleading information .....

It that simple

I think spinlondon had some input to the guidance notes.
