[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 184469, member: 9512"] ADS, I can see what you are saying, however, if an "average" spark can't make such judgement calls then they must seek further professional advice. Perhaps even thsy should not be workign alone. Me I just do what I like and if I feel the need for a departure, or I feel that what I have done is a departure then I will fill it in as such. HOWEVER, as departures are allowed in the regs then by definition they are not "disallowed", thus they comply! :tongue in cheek The regs are not statutory, and there are many electrical situations where they have no relevance what so ever. 7671 is NOT a bible of electrical installation and is NOT intended to be it is a BS. In itself it bows out to many other standards. Also, it is a legal document, not a safe system of work, or method statement. The latter 2 documents are better met with the GN's, but then not exhaustively. I'll argue my corner with my NIC AE & have, and with others, and won. I have yet to be called as a witness but the time will come. Just hope I've done the PW trg by then!!! Discuss more... [/QUOTE]
