Are all EV charge point installers this bad?

I suppose like all proof reading of publications, errors don't always get picked up. Seem to recall, has happened previously with BS7671.

The additional information is lengthier than the regulation quoted before it. Worth looking at if you have both books to hand.

I'd quote it, but it's a lot to type.

@loz2754 just quoted 443.4.1 from Chapter 44.

Oddly enough 3.7.2.1 of the new OSG quotes the very same regulation verbatim and then goes on to expand upon it with further advice that I can not find within the BB(rown)B.

Advice from OSG appears to deviate slightly from BBB, but the distinction is quite significant.

It's an error, which I pointed out to the NICEIC instructor on my Amendment 2 course. He wasn't aware of it, but agreed that the OSG had retained a whole section that should have been deleted.

The reason the hazard analysis is a precursor to the risk assessment is if the analysis is able to eliminate the hazard the risk assessment is not needed.

In the case of transient voltages due to the effects of indirect lightning strikes, how would one go about arguing that no hazard exists or eliminating the hazard entirely, without installing surge protection?

Don't think of your individual situation think more global, think hazard first, identify and eliminate if possible, if not then complete a risk assessment.

I get where you're coming from, but was (not unreasonably) referring specifically to the situation in this thread.

I was just trying to clarify for those that don't know that a Hazard Analysis is separate from the Risk Assessment and is carried out first with the main aim to eliminate the Hazard.

Which is the ideal (if infrequent) situation.
