Discuss Amendment 3 on condition reports in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Hi guys just a quick one. Should I yet be noting non compliance with fire rated CUs or any other new amendments on my condition reports? Any input appreciated.
The best practise guide says from the 1st Jan 2016 if the CCU is not made of a non combustible material/not in a non combustible enclosure located under a wooden staircase or within a sole route of escape from the premises then it warrants a code 3.
Yep, and the ECA, and the IET, and BEAMA, and NAPIT, and SELECT, and city and guilds, and British gas apparently. At least they all endorse or support the best practice guides if you believe the hype.Yet the regulations make no reference to staircases or means of escape, who writes this crap? The NIC?
I have often wandered why the ESF nee ESC are somehow considered to be the main authority on electrical safety. The BPGs are useful, but as pointed out there is a lot of conjecture within them, but saying that a C3 for situations Lee describes is not entirely unreasonable and gives some food for thought regarding coding.
