All the Z esses for all (it seems) devices are 5% lower.

Screw it, I think I'll just paint the cover of mine yellow then!

Hahaha...I might start a Regs book re-covering service!
Bargain for £10 a copy!

I wish they'd use different colours for the strike through and changes instead of red for both, makes reading/understanding it difficult in places.

Just off to Halfords for a tin of yellow spray paint

I wonder how often the Gas Safe Regs are updated??

Thanks for posting
I like the fact that they have got rid of competent person and replaced with skilled electrically skilled person. I may sound trivial but makes more sense to me

We may laugh but I for one am fed up with buying regs books, at 70 notes an issue it is no joke.

Maybe its time the IEE took responsibility of the CPS as after all its there book we have to adhere too, then there would be no discrepancies with technical help as they would be able to clarify exactly what it means, and our annual subs would also include any new revisions being available to us at a heavily discounted rate. Which in turn would surely make everyone sign up to it?

Lets hope the Plain English Society get a look at it, so theres more clarity!

Hmm, there is an awful lot of bleating going on here.
£70 for the book, who pays that?
I got the green book and the OSG for £60. Everyone in one of the schemes would also have been offered similar deals.
Then, spread that cost over 2 years, and it is 75p a week, for the best guidebook possible for your profession.
I've got no problem with the new RCD regs. Easily bypassed by writing a 5 line risk assessment if you feel it is not required.
How about 134.1.1?
That's a good change IMO and hasnt been picked up by most.

Why? I put an oven in last week, in the install notes, it said "only to be installed by a 'NIC' approved electrician, and must be supplied by 6mm T+E". Why not 10mm? or the 4mm I put in, for the 5kW oven? I went against manufacturers instructions as they were just plain wrong. But my work is non-compliant, and would have been before I started as I am not with NICEIC, which is what I assume 'NIC' means.
