| Re: Changes in the 17th edition.... luke, I am saying that iam not aware of any changes that could justify calling something a 17th edition tester Could you imagine them introducing something that made thousands of 500-700 quid meters redundant???!!!! Oh, and i've got some 17th edition compliant pens for sale, and ,erm...... some old socks 10 quid each They are more expensive than the 16th edition ones, because they are, well,......17th edition!!  |

| Re: Changes in the 17th edition.... Tony your a man that might know. I've been in the wholesalers this morning & while chatting to the usual crowd we got on to the 17th ed test meters. I said (same as you) as far as I was aware only the IR values had changed so all 16th ed meters will comply unless they are pass/fail type set for 16th ed results. But one of the lads said he was told by IET (he rang them for advise on 2382 courses) that the current continuity test current( Test current I = 200 mA) is to be changed in the first set of ammendments mid to late Feb (I've found nothing on the IET site about it). He also said to hangfire with the 2382 courses due to said ammendments. Just wondered if you or anybody else had heard anything or is it the usual rumour mill on the go. |

| Re: Changes in the 17th edition.... Test equipment need not be changed, there is no difference between 16th & 17th edition testers. This is the nos. you need to look at IEC 61010 & EN 61557 if your meters comply to these your ok. Hope this helps. |
