[QUOTE="Lurch, post: 451319, member: 6967"] This is the problem, there is a very large gap between the people doing the work and people making the rules. Some people seem to think there isn't and that we are working as one, we aren't. It is very much 'us and them' This is where it comes down to experience and risk assessing the installation. Unfortunately a lot fo this has been taken away from us and we are getting very much like the American way of doing it (this wire goes here, this socket goes on one end, this OCPD on the other etc). As I have said many times it is in a downward spiral and it isn't going to stop, no matter how many people try and change it (unless literally everyone in the industry stopped, but that isn't going to happen). These rules are being made fr the worst case scenario, i.e. Joey Thicko ex-milkman the new approved registered electrician doing electrical work even though he has no common sense or technical skills.
