A socket on a lighting circuit......, OK it was not a 13 Amp socket. How on planet earth did you ( Winston1 ) prevent someone putting a 2 Amp plug on the lead of a vacuum cleaner. ?

Gosh, what did I start 
Thanks Flame, yes it's annual cover basically for checking the system, i.e. sensor, battery and supply testing etc. I'll be charged for parts if any are found to be duff. Obvs will be paying for new batteries as it seems at least one is NFG. Re the thread, so gratfeul for everyone's help. It always good to get to the bottom of things.

Winston1 are you aware that bayonet sockets on lighting circuit can be mis-used like this.
Maybe you should investigate and / or comment on the use of bayonet sockets on lighting circuits.

I remember that from my childhood. I also remember birching and hanging. We have moved on.Winston1 are you aware that bayonet sockets on lighting circuit can be mis-used like this.

Bayonet sockets! Don’t light bulbs/globes have bayonet plugs on them?
21 pages of waffle. Having looked through it twice I cannot find that paragraph. I’ll look harder when I have time.
Like a lot of things it has not been thought through. An un switched FCU does not provide full isolation for the technician as removing the fuse does not isolate the neutral.
You forgetting the man in the mirror.
The part that I highlighted is what BS-EN 50131-1 says. The document I linked to is guidance for the industry that tells the alarm industry that they must comply with BS-EN 50131-1. In the same way as BR Part P approved document calls up BS7671.
So you’ll only find the text in BS-EN 50131-1. Have a look in your copy…

Yes so sockets on lighting circuits must be acceptable
Who said they were not. What is not acceptable is sockets of a higher rating than the circuit e.g. 13a, and 15a.
I don’t have one. I am not an alarm technician.
It is acceptable, to everybody, including JPEL/64. Everybody except for you.
Didn’t you get this amended in amendment 2 then?

Then you should not comment on things that you do not understand.
