just saw these on screwfix and wonder if they are acceptable as they are not BS numbered...

Compared to 951 clamps, these things not only take just as long (if not longer) to install, they are far more expensive and the 'crimping port' is a complete joke.

However the advantages of this product are:
... there are none. A useless product trying to solve problems which don't exist.

Looking at the website http://www.earthcrimpconnectors.co.uk/index.html the crimping looks awful. I can't make out if the clamp ones are BS951 (Clamps for earthing and bonding) compliant.

I would never use them.

There is no BS for them, so you do not comply to BS7671 if you use them (do you?).

I know when we quote for work at my company, one of the final lines of the quote states that the installation will be constructed and tested to BS7671, and all materials shall comply to the relevent british standards.

The website says they are BS7671 compliant. Just can't find a reference to them being BS951 compliant.

they are too large.. doesn't take a genius to realise that they are supposed to take a single 10 or 16mm cable.. not suitable for 6mm i recon.. looks bloody horrible..

also that crimp tool he uses is the wrong one.. it's for insulated crimps.. not tube terminals..
