Discuss Rewires - what age do you suggest it and is there an age you condemn at ? in the Periodic Inspection Reporting & Certification area at ElectriciansForums.net
Just to add this theory was based on a Government building I know this because I served my time on the government term contract with Mathew Halls and we had the job in the late 70,s early 80,s to rewire a lot of building mostly in conduit or micc
This is a joke thread isn't it? Maybe we should suggest a rewire instead of respecting. Change the stickers from next inspection date to rewire due date. Should a 1920 Rolls Royce be taken off the road because it doesn't have ABS, satnav or air bags?
Brian please don't hide behind electrical safety yes it is not a joke but if you are going to be "professional" about it you have to understand that you cannot insist on a rewire because you do not think there is enough socket outlet . If the installation passes all the tests then its good to go now you may want to suggest the customer get RCD protection or more socket outlets instead of using leads fine but you cannot condem an installation on these grounds as the customer could take legal action on you or your company for forcing them to have work done that was not necessary.
Remember we as electricians do have the same rights as the gas guys were we cannot isolate anything without the customers consent also you are on dangerous ground if you try and impliment change on the grounds of your interpitattion of electrical safety. Yes I know we could have a better system but these are the regulations that we must comply with
So the NatWest tower now needs a rewire because it's over 30 years since completion and there's a possibility of there not being enough sockets and people in there using "GASP" extension leads.
Oh, hang on, it's probably only houses you're talking about.
cba with this or most of the other threads at the moment and for that reason, once again, I'm out.
