Thank goodness!! That is precisely (and all) I have been trying to say - but I bet you won't be shot at for saying it in the same way that I've beenIn the absence of a more precise definition in the standard, then one uses the Oxford dictionary definition, i.e. "able to be accessed". Whether such accessibility is sufficiently "easy" surely depends on the judgement of the person who is competent to have that access?
Exactly - but therein lies the potential 'lottery' which (choosing my words a bit more carefully this time!) some members of the public might not regard as being very fair.In your example, that would be the electrician performing the EICR, or the LABC, who are the persons responsible for the advice/instruction being given, so it is their interpretation that counts, not yours, or mine, or that of a householder/member of the general public.
It's comforting to seeing you agreeing, because, as you will have seen, I am being told that I am the only person who sees any problem. I would be pretty surprised if you find anyone in this forum who commented on the DPC (did you?) - and even more surprised if the comments from members of the public, or even individual practising electricians, would actually make any difference to anything - although I accept that's not a reason for not commenting.I do agree that this seems to be a problem for a number of people, so let me ask again if anyone thought it enough of a problem to make a comment on the DPC?
Kind Regards, John
