Thread 18........ Who says that you have to have a certificate? It's nice to have it but nobody REALLY expects you to have it after 25 years! It's just like the test certificate for your car. No more or less. It either IS an approved deact - or it isn't - cert or not! Go and get it NOW Mr Clarke, they ain't makin' no more!

Hi Peter,
It either IS an approved deact - or it isn't - cert or not!
That's the main problem with these early ones, there is no DA stamp. I personally don't mind giving these "pre official" deacs (before 1988) a home, but I do insist on having the old BPH "failed proof because of deactivation" certificate that came with it originally.
Just more potential trouble than there worth to me without one..

Ah, yes......, point taken. Not DA marked turns it into a grey area.

Presumably the Proof Houses won't provide replacement certificates for pre-1988's?

Afraid not, trouble is they now won't provide replacement certs for anything pre April 2016 unless its brought up to the latest spec.

The new E.U. deac spec is the new U.K. deac spec because the U.K. is still, currently, part of the European Union and so has to abide by what is decided in Brussels. What may or may not happen if/when the U.K. ever leaves the European Union is a matter of speculation.
