Are your customers ready for BS7671 amendment 2?


Within BS7671, one constant we have seen since the creation of UK installation regulations is a drive towards improved safety through better installation processes and the use of new technology. The DPC for amendment 2 is no exception with the suggested requirement for the use of AFDDs in UK installations, a product specifically designed to offer protection against electrically ignited fires.


Required for the first time in BS7671:2018 Amendment 2 , during the past two years the industry has been increasing its knowledge and experience of this technology. Eaton has a full range of AFDD device and boards to enable designers, specifiers and installers comply with amendment 2 of BS7671 for single-phase AC socket-outlet circuits with a rated current not exceeding 32 A.
