The new 18th edition wiring regulations are already wrong before they are in force.

The corrections contain an error.

From the "you couldn't make it up" department:

That page tells everyone who has bought a copy that they have bought a book containing mistakes.

That info appears immediately after a warning not to buy counterfeit books because they contain mistakes.

Rearrange these words in a well known phrase or saying:

fit, not, JPEL/64, purpose, for, are.

So is a functional earth still cream or has it been changed to pink, and if is has changed how will it affect those who have recently taken the exam?

Conny, read the table in the document. The colour remains cream until 8th September 2020.
Then we need to revisit all of the RCBOs we have ever installed, with a functional earth lead, and sleeve them in pink.
That's a nice little earner!

 

[AndyPRK]

anyone know the reason to change from white to pink?

 

[Taylortwocities]

It never was white…

 

[AndyPRK]

ok cream if you want to call it that. look white to me.


So was the youtube chap correct when he said the labels were too big

 

[AndyPRK]

Personally I think its wise to issue the correction before it goes into force!

Should avoid any mistakes being implemented
