    to bond or not to bond

    A similar article was in Certsure's (NICEIC) quarterly magazine about 18 months ago, and I queried it with my asessor last year. He was unaware of it and felt it was incorrect and did say he would investigate further. When we met this year he didn't get anywhere with it as no one in the NICEIC...

    to bond or not to bond

    I notice in the May edition of the Professional Electrician & Installer the NICEIC are saying its NOT extraneous if the resistance is > 7.67kohm

    I don't specifically say they are included but usually make Zs measurements in the shower unit, on the immersion contacts and on appliances where its easy to access the connections. Will check insulation readings are OK (being careful not to stress with 500V) if appliances are on, but if they...

    I don't usually cover general appliances in my EICRs, but some of the ones you listed above I do. In this case I'm glad I've asked the question because I'm now looking at a few YOUTube films that show the cables are double insulated and there are various suppliers of this type of UFH mats!

    Thanks, so it must be Class II then.

    Sound similar to what I saw being installed! So was it Class II? I want to get my facts correct before I complete my EICR.

    Yes. The mats are described as 'carbon foil' circuits, I would have thought there should have been some earth protection on them? Regs (753) says something about conductive covering grid. Then in the following paragraph I see something about Class II construction. Can you get Class II UFH mats?

    No earth screen on mats, as there is no earths following the brown and blues. I think the cables you see are not double insulated.

    Remedial works on A.N Others EICR

    I'm in a similar situation, doing remedials from someone else's EICR. However insurance company (thatched property) will not accept an Unstatisfactory report with proof of remedials on all Cat1 and Cat2 and presence of some CAT 3 that haven't been addressed.

    Back in 2011 I was involved in the installation of electrics for a high spec conservatory. UFH was put in by a 3rd party and I refused to connect and sign off. At the time I discussed it with the supplier/installer and he told me 100s if not 1000s had been installed with no problems. In the...

    Am I missing something

    There were others, that I agreed with.

    Am I missing something

    Been asked to quote for some remedials and a couple of observations I am querying: Connection is made in fuse board for 2 way switching. C3 Water and oil bonded on one cable - C3 The 2nd one is wrong if the cable is continous, which it is. Not aware of anything in the regs regarding 1st...

    PIR coding

    You are now telling me I'm wrong and you're right! As I have said before you interpretate readily accessible how you want and I'll do the same! As regards the OPs question, its up to him how he assesses it as he is the only one who's seen the situation! From my interpretation of the OP...

    PIR coding

    You interpretate the regulations how you want and I'll do likewise, that doesn't make either of us right or wrong! With any decision I make I'll be quite happy to stand up in a court and argue my decision(s). Were you party to the regs discussions? your only assuming its re: IP2x/4X and...

    PIR coding

    That is your perogative in interpretating the regs!

    PIR coding

    Its not as if someone could accidently poke their fingers into something that high! This is similar to ensuring any cable connections are enclosed in an enclosure that requires a tool to gain access. If somebody wants to get a stepladder and don't know what they are doing then they deserve all...

    PIR coding

    416.2.2 - horizontal top surface of an enclosure which is readily accessible shall provide at least IP4X (I've not typed word for word) 2.25m above the floor is not readily accessible to my way of thinking!

    Limited space for a CU

    What make? Because Wylex and Hager don't.

    Limited space for a CU

    Need to try and replace an old Wylex board, RCD main switch and 6 outlets (for storage heaters), trouble is I've only got 230mm (height) space. Anybody know of a make that could fit?
