A bid to make BSI docs more widely available.
The other day it occurred to me that in the semi-legal world of ebay
someone would sooner or later be putting out PDFs of BSI publications. Lo and behold there is an outfit that will send you a PDF for £5 or will print and post it to you for £15. Sooner or later they may be in trouble. Because I think this is the right move for gas safety and other construction related matters. I intend to purchase a few of these (starting with BS5440 - the standard for flues to domestic gas appliances below 70kW) I will then put them on my web site. This seems a more open way than happens at present. Gas colleges and test centres have these 'Bibles' chained to the desks! And with a retail price of £140 it's not surprising. If ordinary people can read for themselves what the rights and wrongs of a matter this has got to be better than hearing snippets from BG and CORGI 'priests'. I trust this may be a useful resource (see the thread BG going OTT...) -- Ed Sirett - Property maintainer and registered gas fitter.
