Bs 7671 amd 1

[Guest123]

Well chaps I have it on fairly good authority that the date of release for the first ammendment to BS 7671 2008, will be June 2011 following an initial draft for proof reading.

From what I have been told, there will be a new Special Locatoin - Medical Locations, and a new section (444) covering surge protection. Also I believe there will be changes to the PIR regarding implementation and codings.

I was just thinking I haven't given any money to the IEE this year for their reasonably priced books.

Am glad this chance has arisen.....

more money to probably shell out!!

any ways i don't do medical and my customers will be talked out of surge protection!! what's wrong with plug in ones !!!

At least it's not the 18th as was once speculated.

The NICEIC are doing Tech Talks nationwide with the one of the topics being the 1st ammendment. Have any of you guys been at these talks as they started in September 2009.

Lets for a moment suspend all cynicism and imagine that the reason for ammendments is because someone in the IET/IEE has suddenly had a eurika moment and realised that without surge protection and inclusion of medical areas as special locations our world was a dark a dangerous place!

Lets also imagine that the reason these weren't included in the first place was that the draft was still in process when the publishing deadline was due so the 17th went into press without these new regs so that we could all sleep safe in our beds with the knowledge that we had undergone courses and tests to keep us up to date with installing and testing so that RCD's were protecting our world as we know it!!

It isn't about hoovering our pockets with new publications (including On-site guide etc), new courses or having an unhealthy influence over our working lives at all....is it?

When it comes out you will be able to download the amendment from the IET website which is normally FREE
