BS7671:2008 Amendment 1.

[SirKit Breaker]

Found out that this comes out in July this year, and takes effect from January 2012.
New books will be Green. Thats another £65 plus OSG etc to spend. Why can't we just buy the amendment and change the relevant pages in the book. It will only be someone at the IEE who has now't better to do than change a few bloody words. Probably Line has gone back to being called Live, or they have invented another word for bonding.

Cheers........Howard

Does this mean another exam update for 2382?

To be fair there are a raft of changes in AMD 1, some are backtracking regarding the use of RCD's granted, but there are also some new topics all together.

I agree about the additional flaming cost though!!!

Very pretty, that will be £65 plus VAT thank you, oh and we will bring the new OSG out in a few months no doubt.

If it means getting more into City and Guilds coffers, then more than likely.

agree about the costs. they said there are too many changes to just issue an amendment for the regs so the full book will need to be re published. nothing at all to do with the sales of course. btw the green looks vile much preferred the red

I imagine that there will also have to be amendments to the GNs as well.

If you buy the software based GN they will upgrade all the amendments for free, they didn't say how much future updates will cost mind you . Bugger gone over 2000 now

money grabbing *********. Is any other industry as shafted as us?

Havn't we known about this amendment for quite some time now? It's been discussed a fair bit???

There is quite a few changes being made. The introduction of medical locations as a whole new location, appendix 12 being yanked out and chucked in with appendix 4 (where it should always have been in the first place) to name a few.

I appreciate it seems like a bit of taking the mick, especially in this climate, but it was always on the cards. That's why parts of the existing BRB have gaps and blanks.

I do believe though that the IEE should offer a recycling discount upon the return of the red book or something, for those non-geeks who don't like collecting them.

[Sparky Ninja]
