Quarterly Updates
UG-3.1.1
Changes to the Rulebook are made quarterly. After the end of each calendar quarter, the BMA automatically reissues the contents page of each Module. Users can thus determine whether they have access to the latest version of these pages, by checking that they have those marked with the most recent date.
UG-3.1.2
The contents page of each Module lists the current version number of each Section. The Module contents pages thus act as a checklist for users to verify that they have the current requirements.
UG-3.1.3
Where changes to the regulations are required, then the affected pages are re-issued, alongside the contents pages for each Module. Where possible, only the relevant Section or Chapter is re-issued, rather than the whole Module.
UG-3.1.4
A summary of any changes made to a Module is included in the 'Regulation history' section of each Module. The table summarises the nature of the change made, the date of the change and the Module components affected.
UG-3.1.5
The updates are posted to the BMA website, together with a summary of changes for that quarter. Licensees are in addition e-mailed the summary of each quarter's changes. Hard-copy users are required to print off the updated pages from the website to incorporate in their Rulebook in order to keep it current. The website version of the Rulebook acts at all times as the definitive version of the Rulebook.
