Anyone else got a split load board on display in their local SF marked '17th ed board'? it even says in description that it can be adjusted so all ways are RCD'd....

The Sunderland branch had one on display last week. It was dual 10way board but could be changed to incorporate high integrity (non rcd) ccts. Wylex I think.....may be wrong tho
I think the term "17th ed board" is a msinomer, a bit like "part p qualified".

Andy I read your original post and I thought that it made no sense! Now I see what you are getting at...
The manufacturer (or screwfix) will say that you could fill it with RCBOs as their getout clause. Cheap board eh!?!!

this was at sunderland, and its still there on display. mentions nothing of adding RCBO's or anything, just claims its a 17th ed board. very mis-leading to joe public (who probably shouldnt be able to buy it anyway!)
well we all know who to blame when that appears on the shelves!I think I shall e-mail them...tell them to start advertising 17th edition cable!!!!! ]

It will be the same one I was looking at when I was waiting an eternity for them to pick 10 rolls of blue tape, which they managed to get wrong!! I never actually noticed it wasnt rcd'd. That is misleading, although if all ccts were not less than 50mm buried or in trunking or were not in kitchen or supplying outside etc then it could be argued it is a 17th board!! I have never seen an installation that satisfies the above though!!

I used one of their new CP range a few weeks ago, a little tight space wise with the rcbo maybe but otherwise no different to Wylex & the like.
Fitted A nice Hager today (customers own purchase Applaud Smiley )................ I like
