dont think its ever been acceptable to have a terminal block wrapped in tape
As far as I know never, but seeing as it seems to be the norm to not bother putting wagons in enclosures it’s just a sad sign of the trade these days ...

funfact.....most choc bloc doesn't comply with regs as it is made of an insulation thatbhas a lower rating than the cables it connects. Argue that one with a "know it all" it can be quite amusing. Obviously not as amusing as telling an Architect or Consultant they are talking
and you prove it
not that I know anyone who has ever gone down that route

Talking of "choc blocs and tape" I was called to a house I knew well. I did a lot of work in it years ago when it was renovated. I thought the wiring was pretty good., but the call was "upstairs lights not working"
It actually turned out to be only "bathroom lights not working". Mr Bathroom Fitter had been and fitted a new bathroom and new bathroom lights. Up in the loft was a new taped up choc block with a loose screw.

Well they ARE the specialists Dave ....we are merely common sparks.

judging by recent posts I’m beginning to think that we have distorted the regs by to many discussions on the forum :C
