Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but I hope someone can help, please?
I'm a retired electrical surveyor I worked on industrial, commercial, healthcare, educational and loads of blocks of flats.
My son is considering buy a house in New Zealand and has sent me the report to have a look at.
The one electrical photo shows about 10 porcelain re-wireable fuses 6 Wylex type push-in type b/2 mcbs fixed to a board without cover or enclosure, no cables are visible.
The building inspector describes the installation as modern.
My question is; Is this what passes for a modern installation or is the inspector being "enthusiastic"?
The other thing is that I've been trying to get a look at the equivalent of BS7671 so's I can see what sort of things are required, but so far I've not been able to find anything, is there someone who can point me in the right direction, please?
Thanks in anticipation...
