Sparks Complain About The Cost Of Bs7671!

[Sidewinder]

EN 13850 has just been updated.

£108 for 22 pages.

Trouble is, you can't prove that you have complied with the requirements of the standard if you don't have a copy.

So, an expensive but essential spend for those involved!

This makes BS7671 quite cheap per page in comparison.

Not happy.

It's down to costs and circulation. A vet book costs so much more than a medical one.

I never had to buy it myself, but iirc en60204 wasn't cheap.  The company had 1 copy for all to refer to.

EN 60204-1 £262 for 130 pages.

Your second link is NOT a link to the standard.

In fact Essex, the document in the 2nd link is a joke TBH.

Unfortunately there is no such thing as a "free"legal, legitimate copy of a BS, EN, or ISO standard I suspect.

Well, I've been trying for years to find a free, legal, legitimate source, and not found one yet where I can get the document downloaded onto my computer.

Interesting though that the ISO is 11 pages & 58 CHF, ( about £37.88 depending on the conversion rate, but there ill be currncy relatd charges, so say £40), the BS EN ISO is 22 pages & £108.

The issue is that the ISO is not harmonised under the MD, the EN is, so the BS EN is, it's a legal thing.

Be interesting to see what the actual difference is.
