sorted, hes come back to me and said he was incorrect in fact but correct in terms of good practice!!!!!!!!!! I'm lost with that one but its sorted. Yes it was just the basin, the end of zone one around the bath is 1.8m away and over two meters from the shower.

Comments please folks. Oh if only life was simple! I'm in conflict with the local building control officer. I've wired a boiler (combi) in a bathroom (wiring to 17th ed by another company last year), its edge is 40cm from the edge of the sink and is to be boxed in. The BCO has said its...

god, I should have known from the ref numbers in the blogs that they match the refs in the BRB, oh well to bed I say :oops:

OK OK got it, I'm getting on abit now you know :wink:

OK, I can't stand it any longer :oops: I keep seeing BRB refs but what does this stand for?? I must be missing something here, I have the following texts: 17th ed, the OSG and my trusty electrician's guide to good electrical practice, but I just cant see what BRB stands for, dont tell me I'm...

No, sample visits, once or twice at most, now this is how I did it, its the long way round an nvq but its also a surefire way: I wrote out every single PC/ke and then wrote out under it how I had achieved it, this was sometimes only a cross ref to another piece of evidence. But there no way...

Where do i start? Ok, Did mine in 04 so it may have changed abit?? but I never covered any agricultural at all, if the Pcs don't stipulate this then there no reason why you should, but if they do they do?? You should view other folders theres nothing wrong about this, in fact ask look at as...

Hi again, I'm just off in the bath so sorry for the spelling, no time to check. I don't think that anyone would for a second not help you due to loosing work, it's just so complex letting someone come and work for you for a few days here and there (be that free or otherwise) and the money in the...

PC = Performance criteria APL = Accreditation of Prior Learning' you will also have KE which used to be called Knowledge Evidence. I'm not sure if this is just call knowledge now. You should have been inducted and all of this explained to you in detail. I used to be an assessor and internal...

any probs ask for an extension, they will give you one. Like the other posts its really no good just doing any ele jobs you have to match your work to the PCs. Ask your assessor for guidance and a completed portfolio for an example, you could have mine but as soon as the cert hit the floor it...

Thanks for that, nice reply, thought I was going mad :roll: and was I reading the regs different to anyone else.

Thats where the IPX ratings are from????? please state where it says you cant use ipx 4-5 rated equipment in zones 1&2 at 230volts if protection is via 30>ma RCD.

just found this guidance from AMDEA sorry cant post link have a look: GUIDANCE ON THE USE OF APPLIANCES IN BATHROOMS AND SHOWER ROOMS, seem to back me up!

Hi all, Its seems that most comments regarding the location of an extractor fan in zone 2 and indeed zone 1 must be selv/12volts. Please correct me if I'm wrong here but my understanding is you can fit a 230volt ex/fan in zone 2 if its ipx4 or above and in zone 1 ipx5 if you cannot fit one in...
