Thanks. You've answered the first part of my question, but not the second. Do you think that it is reasonable, realistic or necessary to recommend (i.e. advise) every householder or houseowner to spend their money having their electrical installation 'updated, as necessary, to current BS7671' every time a new addition of BS7671, or an amendment thereto, is published?As a "recommendation" on the installations I inspect then I would recommend this. My interpretation is that the old code 4 is incorporated into the new code C3.So are you saying that you would personally 'recommend' that all UK electrical installations should be brought into compliance with the current edition/amendment of BS7671 whenever a new one appears? If so, do you think that reasonable, realistic or even necessary?
Kind Regards, John.
