    BS 7671:2008 July 2008

    "Amend Regulation number 702.411.3.3 to 702.415.2 Note the changing of the above two Regulation numbers effectively moves that group from page 171 to 172." I changed them, but the little divils are still on page 171, what am I doing wrong? ;)

    thats what annoyed me about the IEE too, BS7671 should be freely available to the public, not charged at £70 or whatever silly price. They could EASILY release it as a downloadable PDF file!

    anyway, I'm going self employed in April - if anyone asks me if I'm a member of NICEIC I'll say "not yet, but when I join in 6 months my prices will be going up, so get me while I'm cheap!" Anyway I'm off to watch Aufwiedersen Pet, taped it 2 weeks ago and not got round to watching it, maybe...

    The article doesn't make it clear as to whether you need to show the 3 finished/in-progress/minor jobs each year or whether its just for initial entry/assessment. think that's just for initial assesment, you only get half a day for the ongoing ones. My old man runs a small kitchen firm...

    EBS question for sparky sifi

    Maybe a bad batch went out, mines had barely tickled the wall when it fell apart. Interesting what you say about the tension of the bolt.
