PD6662: 2010 and 2004 are dual running until may 2012

James, I`m an idiot, can you tell me what this is and what it replaces?

6662 2010 replaces 6662 2004.

You need to use the 2010 when using the new 8243 etc

James, i will download(via SSAIB not EBAY!) them at some point and have a read but, what are the main differences between the 2010 and older standards? (I am just guessing you have already looked into it?)

I have done a summary of changes, in the trade only area. See the above link

James

......... when using the new 8243 etc

which is the "special" for police monitored systems?

yes the new bs that replaces DD243

Thanks for doing the summary James, really helpful..

the line -:

PD6662 said that any problems should be resolved within 21 days. 2010 changes this to 'as soon as practicable'

give licence to abuse by the unscrupulous, so is surely a backwards step?
