[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 521997, member: 9512"] Do you know what the origin of the 100 sq. m is? I suspect not, otherwise, you would not be stating it in this nature. Your message above illustrates a total misunderstanding of the requirements of this clause in BS 7671. Also, there is no law broken by not complying with BS 7671, as it is not law merely a code of practice. The introduction by HSE makes that fact clear. The relevant law would be HASAWA, & EAWR, amongst others. Appendix 15 is "informative" that is guidance on the guidance, it does not form part of the requirements of BS 7671. Only "normative" appendices form part of the standard. Anyone can choose to ignore BS 7671 without issue, it is not compulsory, and, it has limited application in the world of electrical engineering as it only covers low and extra-low voltage installations in buildings, it does not cover HV, or machinery. Deviations from BS 7671 are allowed, there is even a section on the certification to document deviations. [/QUOTE]
