What amendment number do you have?

Mine is 16116 5 January 2006.

It would seem that of our copies has been superseded.


Yes. mine. You're looking at the amended version (which ahem!
coincidentally would seem to be the version floating around as a bootleg
in torrentspace :-)). I was looking at the un-amended 2004 version. The
newer version has the para of interes flagged a having been changed by
the amendment:

[A1 11.1.3 A gas hob shall be connected to the termination point by means
of rigid pipework or, unless stated otherwise in the manufacturers
instructions, a flexible connector and self-sealing plug device conforming
to BS 669-1.A1]

(I wonder if that's what they intended originally and someone just got it
gasp! wrong?)
