Had this in an email from Wylex, might be useful to people as it summarises some of the changes in the 18th edition quite well. things might change but from what I have heard industry and a lot of the various bodies pretty much know whats staying and going from the draft but cant officially say.

Thanks Gavin very useful
 
Not wishing to sound ungrateful GJH, but it doesn't tell us diddly squat, those proposals for the 18th have been knocking around since the draft for the 18th came out. The last thing for example, I heard about AFDD's were the term 'may be used'. Seems a nice little advertising flyer for Wylex new compact RCBO's, is about all I can glean from it. :)

each to there own @Midwest i dont take offence... admittedly it seems the contents were in the draft but i do know some people found it all a bit confusing and this leaflet whilst clearly a wylex promo briefly outlines some bits in a way some might find easier to absorb.
As for the small rcbos. every brand is now starting to do them and wont be long until the cheap own brands do them aswell.

I joined the email list for Certsure 'Its Coming 18th Edition' site a few months back, and nothing substantive has been forthcoming. Found out more from this forum - Chinese whispers and all that. So I can only guess, there've all been told to keep stumm, or none of these signatories to the 18th really know what those in the JPEL/64 have got in mind. Still only 123 days (allegedly) to go, before we find out how much more its going to cost us & our customers.

PS Wylex new compact RCBO's are SP&SwN, whereas the new Hager ones are just SP, as far as I can tell. Wylex 'Good to know, Chap 46'.
 
I would say we are ALL guessing about the 18th edition until its published, complete with the usual errors, discrepancies and open to interpretation "rules"
