PIR coding

Different ways of interpreting the term 'readily accessible', how odd.
To my mind, something is 'readily accessible', if it can be accessed without the use of a key, tool or access equipment.
Access equipment being ladders, MEWPs, helicopters, etc.

To be on the safe side just remove the fitting and re-mount it on a piece of timber bigger than the base of the fitting with a hole drilled through it only just big enough for the supply cable.

You are right , it needs sorting as.

Quote the OP---

"Meaning due to the size of the fitting its possible for someone to put there hand above the
fitting and go into the connection behind..

If it's the kind of fitting im thinking it is then an oversize conduit box lid between the bracket and the beam can work to cover the gaps

Interesting thread.

How would you code a pendant in a room then?

 

[Dave OCD]

Yeah something like that would do fine as well.

Edit - reply to Davesparks' post.

I don't follow, what is the problem?

You can't put your hand into the top of a fitting that's fixed tight to a ceiling.

No problem Dave, it's puzzled me for a while now how normal lamp holders are still allowed.
Often accessible without steps, live parts accessible without the use of a tool. Just take the lamp out.
Same with table lamps.

The code question was rhetorical.

With the lamp missing? but that could apply to any fitting.
