UK Bs7671 Ammendment 2 DPC now out

[AJshep]

For those that are interested ammendment 2 got released earlier today..

https://standardsdevelopment.bsigroup.com/Projects/2019-02917#/section

From a quick glance it looks like we will be installing AFDDs for AC final sockets and final circuits upto 32amps with the exception of some safety circuits/motor controls and lighting circuits.

Not looked to much into it yet but looks like A type Rcds should now be used for general use, the old AC RCDs can only be used where there is no chance of DC or control circuits.

Prosumers seems to be added to Part 8...

I believe that Sparkninja is putting on a webinar tonight for those that are interested.

You need to login top right of the web page if you haven't got an account you need to register and then login to access the documents

Logged in correctly but still not getting it - they may be limiting it to x number of logged in users at once.

PDF would have been so much easier....

Logged in and this is what I get

Read draft and comment gives you part one the other parts are accessed with the links above that

I don't see anything like that. Have sent message to BSI about it, will see what comes out of this.

This is what I currently get while logged in - they are clearly still having issues serving the page to people who want to read it... (different number of comments too I notice)

I could see it last night, though it was too slow to actually use, so I gave up

I get the above but trying to view it on a smart device like a tablet is futile it just keeps freezing.

Yup I've logged in to the site but can't get it to work. It's just stuck on table of contents. I'll try again later.
Thanks for the heads up.

Why the disagree?

How many of you think the difficulty of log in and not being able to comment is better and less time consuming for those that have to read them all, Oh cynical me.

Ah, a flat earther

Don't wander too far from your base you may fall off the edge.

Bsi have now released A2 in pdf format.
Still split up into sections but definitely easier to read.

I don't know if I'm reading it right but it looks like they've removed the schedule of inspections for an installation certificate?

Apparently it's comment by 27th November or 11th December depending on which page you read though. Good to know we are in such competent hands!

Maybe it will take that long to read the pages.

I think they've just reworded it so you can specify how many pages there should be with it.

There's a generic schedule on Page 216 - though plenty of software or schemes seem to prefer their own layout.

It now includes more details on RCDs - BS, Type, In and Rating (A) - which is probably a positive. Though the boxes for BS(EN) are now tiny so not sure how you would get anything in there.
