It's a Victorian apartment and from memory the skirtings are at least 12" high, possibly more, so I'm not sure whether they're going to be replaced or not. Is the cable likely to be routed behind the skirting or under the floorboards?

Someone has asked me to help them move their socket outlets out of the skirting boards as they've been told this needs to be done before they can address a damp issue they have, although as yet I'm not sure whether someone's just unaware that regulations aren't retrospective or they do in fact...

Don't worry, when it falls off the first page it'll get more ignored.

As nozspark mentioned above, see here: http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Technical/DataSheets/Other/Dimpull.htm

Yes, but I'm just talking about the simple replacement of damaged cables which it looks like he may be undertaking. If the wiring to one of those spurs is damaged and he replaces it as is then it doesn't matter which set of regulations it was constructed too :)

As the regulations aren't retrospective it doesn't have to comply anyway, although it does. If you just want to replace any 'damaged' wiring you can do that with little observation to the regulations too, just make sure it's no less safe than when you started :)

You're lucky UH only replaced that hotlinked image with a generic warning :lol: Try this instead...

Can you fit a separate enclosure/mcb? http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/MK5502.html http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/MK5945S.html

That's hardly surprising when you see what's inside them, it looked just like a bit of fuse wire.

No, they don't test your colour vision in any of the associated exams. The online building regulations exam is black & white as are the other 8 written exams so your vision won't affect your ability to complete those either.

Just ignore 2 way and connect to com & 1 way, assuming this switch is the only one controlling the fitting.

Does anyone know where I can source GS38 compliant probe tip covers for a T100 volt tester from for a realistic price, or alternatively what to use instead? Ebay's let me down & I've spoken to Fluke who will happily supply them for £3 per pair + £35 delivery if the order's under £75, I don't...

YES, THAT'S CORRECT.

They only need to be of a certain height on new installs and anyone undertaking that should know what's required really.

Cool, at least there's some reasoning behind it.

Did you know, David Cockburn is an anagram of Dick Cock Twit?

Ok, cheers.

What's the deal with these amendments as opposed to complete new versions? Are we supposed to just make ourselves aware of the changes and declare that on any paperwork we issue, ie the relevant 'amended to' sections, or will their eventual publication require an update of qualifications?

Congrats. That flaky RCD might've stood you in good stead as it's all very well testing a known sound installation but in the real world things do go wrong and being able to rectify them correctly is something assessors probably don't actually see candidates doing often :)
