18th edition update

[nickblake]

From what I have heard from the IET, because the amendment is so big (if you've downloaded the DPC you'll see that there are over 200 pages with alterations) a whole new book will need to be bought...

Happy days for all you people who are £60 worse off now, you'll soon be again!

well i supose those poor people are lacking funds ,whey they didnt think about the ammendment in 2008 when 17th came in then there wouldnt need to be an ammendment and save us sparks some hard earned cash

Major revisions are being proposed to the 17th Edition Wiring Regulations, including more detail on medical locations, measures against electromagnetic influence and devices for protection against overvoltage (surge protection). There will also be a name change from IEE Wiring Regulations to IET Wiring Regulations. There are also a number of minor ‘tweaks’ being considered.
At this stage, these are proposals and any changes won’t be published until June 2011, coming into force on 1st January 2012.
For more information about these revisions Electrical Times magazine have produced a comprehensive article including a video. This can found on their website.

They normally are free to download, the only problem this time around is that the amendment is so huge that you'll have to practically have a new book photocopied into your regs...
