UK Gas Bonding Certification

If it was me, I would defo fill in a MEIWC, but I'm trying to get another sparc to do one. But I can't find anything black and white on this.

UK Gas Bonding Certification

New gas boiler install. Previously no gas in dwelling, water is plastic. So no bonding presently. No other work, boiler supply to use existing Electric Heater Circuit. What certification should be used, It's not a new circuit, so not EIC. So just Minor Works?

Boiler circuit 16A MCB

I received the latest Guidance Note 4 - Protection Against Fire yesterday. My first observation is it's the first guidance note I've ever known to have shrunk! 12 pages.......... The wording has been updated, but seems to read largely the same, as per below; “The intent of Regulation...

It's on the back, so IP is not an issue. My use of the word 'grommet' was sloppy, sorry for any confusion. Yes it was a gapping hole in the back Stroma were concerned about. They advised using rockwall or fire foam. I prefer rockwall as it's easy to pull in/out for future maintenance.

Yes, we are talking about enclosures. If you make a hole in an enclosure, how do you make that hole comply. In this thread we are talking about 32mm knockout. In my stroma assessment, it was 6" knockout in back of consumer unit. However, both holes give open into cavity, which would allow fire...

That would apply to every question on this forum. You mistake the spirit of forums, it's not a place to put others down, to make yourself feel superior. Your comments say more about you. Maybe take a look in the mirror............. Interestingly, those that criticised, did not put forward any...

I would argue it is a requirement from 17th edition. Guidance Note 4 (17th Edition) - Protection Against Fire advises 3.8.1 Consumer Units & Similar Assemblies in domestic premises 'The Installer must seal all openings into the non-combustible enclosure or cabinet for cables, conduits, trunking...
