[QUOTE="Lurch, post: 441352, member: 6967"] TBF, it's no different to all of the 16th edition boards I have fitted that are now "dangerous" due to the plastic combustion issues and lack of RCD's. But this is a common one where manufacturers instructions, inspectors interpretations of the regs and the fitters lack of following any of them means that lots of stuff is done when it is not required and lots of stuff is not done when it should be, but then some of it can be argued either way depending on whether the fitter listens to the inspector or the manufacturer, or his boss. Like I say, it's chaos behind the scenes, it just looks like it's more orderly because it has been around for longer. The whole Corgi/Gas Safe thing is another issue that has meant the Corgi now just keep spamming customers with unneeded boiler breakdown warranties but because it is a name people have heard of and it turns up the week after we fit a new boiler they think it is something they should do. This should be made illegal, but the government are the ones who awarded the contract to Gas Safe rather than at least keeping the name for the scheme the same even if the scheme provider is different.
