What a load of tosh.banning plastic raw plugs.get a grip.the rest of the building will have hundreds of them for plumbing,joinery etc so what diffrence will it make.its just getting to the point of stupid now.
Another ploy to cater for poor training and poorly trained Electricians and Installers, as with the transformation to non combustible CUsWas there any report about Grenfell firefighters struggling because of dangling cables and fixtures. I'm just saying we do not know that all this reg stuff is just for economical reasons. Why did it take so long also to create this reg. Fires in properties being going on centuries years, nobody mentioned it then.

Switch em off first is the answer sham.Metal Domestic Consumer boards, make me nervous when taking the lid off with my hands.
How do you switch off when the isolator is usually inside the board?Switch em off first is the answer sham.
Who,s going to first to come out with the ‘Nervous disposition switch’, I wonderHow do you switch off when the isolator is usually inside the board?
That is a joke, yes?How do you switch off when the isolator is usually inside the board?
Why not try your feet.Metal Domestic Consumer boards, make me nervous when taking the lid off with my hands.
Kind of, but the serious point is how can we have metal earthed containment where the protective devices are inside. Think about rcd protection on a TT system for the worst example. Relying only on the basic protection of insulation but no fault protection is not really ideal, but without an up front RCD that's what we would do.That is a joke, yes?
For example, if you have a house where the ceiling and roof joist are of the engineered "I"-beam type and you drill through these to run services, they are prone to failure even without a fire. Where the upright web is typically 6 or 8mm OSB, you can't expect this to have the fire-resistant qualities of a four by two. Yes, wood burns, but solid timbers in the old style will last longer before failing...and that's just the tip of the proverbial, imho.
So plastic plugs no, but plastic trunking, conduit, fast fit boxes, etc etc etc are all ok, someone is having a good old ****ing laugh at us all, and all we do is bend over further and let the scam providers shaft us,maybe we should go back to the 4 inch nail bent over cables like in the good old days
