[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 484865, member: 1607"] I would have thought that compliance with the regulations to avoid mechanical strain on cables or terminations should prevent any joint becoming that loose? Whatever type of joint; junction box, commando plug, cooker supply, SWA etc, either the cables should be appropriately fixed or where flexibility and movement are required a gland or clamp etc, to secure the cable to prevent conductors pulling out of terminations CU tails should be no different. As there is quite a bit on mechanical external influences, (522.8.5 comes to mind), to some degree you can understand the EON / Western Power point of view. However common sense would suggest that where there are no visible signs of any cable fixings, cleats or clamps, (just like thousands of older properties), you would double check nothing feels looser than it should be.
