Discuss Boiler spur location in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Good morning guys and girls
I have attended a kitchen rewire this morning to test a install buy a 3rd party.
The boiler spur is directly above the draining board I'm quite sure this shouldn't be the case. I've been told by the installer that "it's fine it's rcd protected" is this just waffle to get me to sign it off.
Surely it's the same principle as a light switch inside a bathroom?
Lets put a double socket over the bath to plug the fire in well its RCD protected it's fine !!!!!!!!!
 
I take 300mm as a basic rule as above as no direct reg stating distance,regarding testing if I have read the posts correctly you work for a NICEIC D.I. firm.NIC don't do 3rd party, kitchen fitters do work you test it as condition report and your company notifiys it as they done work to building control via NICEIC web site this as well as the cert being forged as satisfactory this is not correct.
 
you can be a niceic D.I. they use the purple certs red is for AC and green for anyone to purchase the A.C. & D.I. have tracable numbering.
Not for EICR I don't think. I think EICR is excluded from the scope of DI unless you do a further assessment for it.
