    I know it's an old thread but I'd maybe try to wriggle one of these in https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/UVSOR2.html

    Renting property - VIR (Rubber Cable) - EICR, is this allowable if pass tests?

    If tyres have a safe design life (for the sake of argument ) of say 10 years and you have a car with 30+ year old tyres that "look ok" is that fine? If those tyres are on the car of your daughters boyfriend will it probably be alright? Or, the car she hires on holiday, is that okay? I don't...

    Main Earth bond with remote meter

    Had a couple of run ins with gas fitters in recent times, y'know those guys known to chop bonding off and fling it away if it's in their way in the not so recent past... but suddenly if theres not an earth clamp <600mm from the gas meter you've got gas fitter histrionics One recent one I'd...

    Laser level /spot light marker...

    they have millions of model numbers; mine is the B03CG. bought direct from huepar, charged in $ was a chunk cheaper. Albeit that was 4 years ago, but hey it's lasted okay.

    Waste Carrier License????

    It's a scheme invented to gouge working guys while doing nothing whatsoever to address its ostensible motive. I have a waste transfer licence. I have never been asked to show or prove what I do with waste. There are no vehicles (directly) linked to it, therefore no reason why anybody...

    TT or PME

    This is where TNC-S gets really ugly... The integrity of your earth is now dependant on whether neighbours fiddle with their own installations. I don't know why we don't just mandate non-conductive couplings on incoming services

    TT or PME

    If it is what you think it is, and a loss of PEN should occur putting 230 onto your earthing, the earth stake is unlikely to worry the service fuse I'd be inclined to try to see exactly where this mystery conductor goes, I think a parallel path through neighbouring property etc is far more...

    Plastic CU EICR code?!

    C3, not to current standards. A plastic unit is no more likely to burst into flames than a ferrous one, especially so if the last one to work on it was skilled and diligent enough to tighten check everything before popping the lid on, even if such concepts are outdated.

    TT or PME

    It's all to do with the danger of losing the PEN conductor which would make the entire earthed parts of installation live; PME is the mechanism by which TNC-S is considered safe, ostensibly connecting to multiple extra earth rods along the conductors route (hence multiple earthing) but theres...

    TT or PME

    Surely an "unofficial" TNCS connection still has to go to the incoming supplies neutral/PENl conductor, not "disappear off somewhere?" Also, it it were an "unofficial" TNCS connection where PME isn't present (tip; it can't by definition be an unofficial PME, PME and TNCS do not mean the same...

    I hope that's not the case, or that professionals are assisting in it?
