I've just discovered that it is NOT in the building regs. any more. It was, but was removed a couple of years or so ago, and now comes under BS EN 1995-1: 2004, whatever that is.

I normally like my cables to fit through a good sized hole. It helps pull the cable without it getting damaged. Sometimes 16mm but normally 20 mm Sometime 32mm. That’s normal.

not sure I quite understood the junction box in the garage part. But if it’s on a plug it’s not part of the electrical installation.

is there any part of the electrical installation you are concerned about?

Same here. Rarely under 20mm, and often more, up to a maximum of 32mm. Above that, I drill a second hole along side the first, at least three diameters away.
I didn't understand the j/box in the garage bit, either, but I hope it's gone.

2.8 Installing fixed electrical equipment is within the scope of Part P, even if the final connection is by a standard 13A plug and socket

Quoted from Part P of the Building Regulations 2013. Just to show that there are instances where equipment that is fed from a standard plug and socket need to be given consideration.

With a lot of the negative NICEIC posts on here over the last few months it got me thinking as to who you would complain to if the NICEIC won't respond and investigate a complaint, given that the NICEIC are an accredited organisation according to this UKAS Accreditation - Certsure - http://certsure.com/about-us/ukas-accreditation/ then it looks like the next option is to raise a complaint here Complaints, Feedback and Appeals - UKAS - https://www.ukas.com/customer-area/complaints-feedback-and-appeals/

It seems a bit longer than I remember. If you haven’t don’t worry I’m just going mad.

Hello my concern is how they have been drilled close to edges and straight up for lighting cables instead of through the middle really
