NO ONE cares
You can change like for like yourself. But do be 100% sure that you have isolated the circuits.
We can, which means we should agree that it goes
2(a) and
2(b) and
2(c)
'cos if we have
2(a) or
2(b) and
2(c)
then work on special installations becomes non-notifiable...
there's at least 2 of us that care.. so your assertion is flawed..NO ONE cares
That's right, it does have to satisfy both criteria - it has to be not in a kitchen or special location and it has to be not a special installation.your way:
if it's not 2(a) AND not 2(b) then it's not notifiable, meaning it has to satisfy BOTH criteria to qualify
So with your way, a special installation would not be notifiable if it was not in a kitchen or a special location.my way:
if it's not 2(a) OR not 2(b) then it's not notifiable, meaning that it only has to satisfy ONE criteria to qualify..
.apart from the items listed in part 1,
work in a kitchen is notifiable.
work in a special location is notifiable.
work on a special installation is notiable.
work anywhere else that is not just adding lights or sockets to an existing circuit is notifiable.
Ah.example:
outside power socket
your way:
is it in the kitchen or special location? no
is it a special installation? yes
is the answer to BOTH of the above questions yes? no, so it's not notifiable
my way:
is it in the kitchen or special location? no
is it a special installation? yes
is the answer to EITHER of the above questions yes? yes, so it's notifiable..
ban-all-sheds said:That's right, it does have to satisfy both criteria - it has to be not in a kitchen or special location and it has to be not a special installation.
Indeed, but the whole point of 2B is that everything is notifiable unless exempted in 2B. You look in 2B for conditions which are true, and if they are true then the work is not notifiable. You do not look for conditions which are not true where if not true the work is notifiable.see.. you misread it.. It quite clearly says that it it NOT notifiable if it is NOT work on a special installation.. 2 NOT's cancel each other so it IS notifiable if it IS work on a special installation..
The problem with language is that "no" can actually have two completely opposite meanings, and fiddling with "nots" can confuse the issue assuming the usual way that people answer questions.you are confusing the issue here.. we're using language and not boolean algebra to define this..
But then your rule breaks down. Whether you use "language" or boolean algebra.you say that for it to be true that it is NOT notifiable then BOTH condition a AND condition B must be true.. so it has to be both NOT in a kitchen / special location AND it has to NOT be a special installation.
I say that for it to be true that it is NOT notifiable then EITHER condition a OR condition B must be true.. so it has to be NOT in a kitchen / special location OR not be a special installation..
OK.Yes, work on a special installation is notifiable no matter where it is.
OKplease read my edited post above..
No - you've got 2B around the wrong way again.do you not see the flaw in that remark?
you are saying then that ONLY work in a kitchen or special location on a special installation is notifiable? meaning that if it's NOT work on a special installation ( ie adding sockets to existing circuits etc ), then work in a kitchen is NOT notifiable..
In this example "mowing the lawn if" is analogous to "becomes non-notifiable if".lets look at this another way..
"tomorrow I will mow the lawn if it is not cold and not cloudy" <- your structure
this means that you will ONLY mow the lawn if it is both sunny and warm
but not if it's cold but sunny, or warm but cloudy.
"tomorrow I will mow the lawn if it is not cold or not cloudy" <- my structure
this means that you will mow the lawn if is sunny but cold, or if it's warm but overcast, or if it is sunny and warm..
Well, no it shouldn't, because there aren't 3 conditions there are 2BAS, your logic is flawed
going on your boolean logic it should read
m = x OR y OR z
You have removed the "not"s, which means that you cannot split 2 conditions (one of which is nested) into 3.so..
(x) it is in a kitchen = <false>
it is in a special location = <false>
(z) it is a special installation = <true>
