Does anyone know the reason for the new I.E.E. Regs concerning extending ring circuits. Apparently it is now against their regulations to extend ring circuits with 30amp junction boxes as I have done for over 30 years. We are now told to crimp the wires! Is there a reasonable explaination or are they simply taking matters to the extreem. Don't get me wrong, they have brought in quite justifiable regulations in the past, especially concerning earthing practices, but I now feel they are making regulations unnecessarily. Perhaps I'm wrong, after all I'm just a humble builder, but I try my up most to follow their guidelines for the little bits and pieces of electrical work I do. For someone doing it full time it must be a nightmare!
