Since the dawn of time, people have been portraying things that they sell as more than what they are.

Last few years, you could buy 16th Edition testers, 17th Edition CCU's, etc. The only thing that is XXth Edition is the Regs, but already they are offering 18th Edition test kit.

They can call it anything they want, but that doesn't make it so. The newer kit may do things a bit faster, or have more ranges, but the requirements for test kit are BS 61010 and BS 61557.

They even called CCU's 17th Edition, when it's how you equip and install that will determine whether your installation COMPLIES with the current edition of BS7671.

CCU's are made to a different BS standard anyway. If your kit has regular calibration checks it's good for the job, you don't have to renew it every time the Regs change.
