Thanks - jenki :wink:

I agree with the contradictions, and I can't point you to a place that "state that you must follow the current edition of BS7671 in full?" because I don't think it does - And even the bit that says Are they not saying - it won't meet building control approval - if it's not BS7671...

Except that Building Regulations will only allow the current edition of BS7671 to be the standard for electrical work to be undertaken against. And will mean that any competent person finding deviations from BS7671:2001 will not be able to self certify the work. Only LA officers can authorise...

Does this help? If you print it double sided, in colour and landscape -it looks ok. http://www.napit.org.uk/PDF/Easy_Guide_to_Part_P.pdf jenki

Just thought id ask if anybody had any views on which scheme (domestic installers) one should join? Weather I like it or not, the easiest route through the PP problem, is to join - at least then I can carry on working without getting others involved. Seems like NAPIT cover the requirements for...

Who's saying you need to blank the redundant wires?? 3 + 2 + 1 = 6 + (3 for the earth) = 9 When you took off the rose there will have been 3 reds connected in the centre, this is the loop, and need to remain connected together. then there was one Black wire connected to the blue wire...

You need to replicate the ceiling rose - some how, if the hole where the wires come from is big enough I would use a small junction box, and push this into the the hole, if not you will have to use choc blocks, I tend to split the block up for each set of wires, then you can wrap insulation tape...

B.A.S Question for you - How do you bond a radiator on a wall to the Hot and cold on the other side of the room, without going under the floor? Iknow this is supplmentery bonding - so might have answered my own question :oops: but even main Equipotential bonding must go under floors at some...

Not that I want any - but can you point me in the direction of a supplier :?: Just in case someone asks me in the future :wink:

I thought - that they were saying that a "competent person" would be recognized as one if they were part of a competent person scheme; thats why NICEIC sparks also have to join the domestic installers scheme! no? Anyway - It seems to me that everybody interprates part P differently - so who...

Sorry to but in - but id bet a modest fortune - that in the future when you come to sell your house, you will have to buy an indemnity policy - for the buyer - just incase theres something wrong!! A pal of mine sold his house a few months back. 8 years prior he had an extension built - with...

Yeah Saw the same program "Bricking It" C4, the install was surface mounted Galv conduit, with metal back boxes, metal clad switches wired in singles -(For a modern apartment) I was quite surprised that the supervisor told the kid that it was extremely dangerous. From what i could see the cpc...

Taxi for Jenki :oops:

And don't forget the red sleaving on Yellow(Black) and Blue(Grey) wires in both switches

No :!: I took one look at the joy written across the face of my 7 yr old - and thought the more the better - if you don't like it don't look :twisted: now where did i put that 20ft inflatable santa :D

Buy her the on site guide for christmas :lol:

Hi All, Quick question - Wondering what methods of installation ideas you have for installing the ever increasing number or festive lights :?: Most lights I have fall into the extra low volts 12/24v via plug in transformers, or mains 240v. And don't like / want wires trailing through windows...

Just re-read OSG, and stand corrected, i see the reference to regs 553-01-07, saying each socket outlet of a twin, or multiple socket outlet is regarded as one socket outlet. :oops:

If you can get to the back of one of the dbl sockets, why not take an "non-fused spur" wired directly into the terminals of the dbl socket. As this will be only protected by the main MCB / Fuse (32A )you should then (I wait to be corrected) use a 4mm sq T&E. as per Table 8A, Appx8 on site...

Just spoke with Bolton MBC - Asking for guidance on Part 'P', They basically told me that if i were to fit a kitchen, and do some electrical work, then, as a non- approved competent person, i would have to use a building note, for approval - the best bit is they said i would have to provide a...
