    Well im afraid I would be off. You have got to stick with what you think is right & what you would except yourself & not sell your sole for a few pounds. This is the trouble be the regs, it is down to your own interpretation, no wonder customers get confused.

    Anyone done work for LOM Maintenance?

    I must be one of the lucky ones I think. I carried out a call out for this company & did get paid, admittidly I did have to chase them up with a phone call 2 months later & it was only for a small amount of around about £50 I dont think I will be doing any more for them though. I steer clear of...

    If I am carrying out a PIR inspection & came accross this type of install I would reccommend removal of the metal back box & fitting of a surface pattress IMO cost & disruption does not come into it. We can only test to todays requirements & code any found departures accordingly. Not so long...

    no CPC on lights, - switches for class 2?

    A bit dodgy when removing the switch for live testing though On another note i was quite interested to see that the government are thinking of fast tracking ex forces into teachers. What a great idea it might just catch on. Now where have i seen that work before? Funny but the NUT are not quite...

    no CPC on lights, - switches for class 2?

    I agree to a degree. Lighting circuits with no cpc are acceptable providing all fittings and accessories are class 2. I am a bit confused how covering a bare and exposed screw with a plasttic cap can be classed as a class 2 when the metal box behind it certainly is not I had a customer recently...

    So whats going to happen when screwing the switch plate back and the cable nicks the counter sunk screw and the metal box is not earthed. I do a lot of domestic testing and have done for many years. I have always classed this type of installation as unacceptable.

    How can not earthing a metal back box be acceptable? Imo the best option is to remove the metal back box and replace it with a plastic surface box
