    The new Landlords' EICR requirements. The law says that everything must now be to 18th Edition!

    That's my point, I'll only do a standard PIR, the EICR states 'The inspection and testing detailed in this report and accompanying schedules have been carried out in accordance with BS 7671:2018 (IET Wiring Regulations) as amended to 2018.' Anything else would require a different form and, as...

    The new Landlords' EICR requirements. The law says that everything must now be to 18th Edition!

    The point I'm trying to make Julie is that if a homeowner employs me to undertake a PIR it makes no difference to me the reason behind the request. It could be an insurance company request, or the local council for an HMO, or the said new letting law or even just the home owner for peace of...

    The new Landlords' EICR requirements. The law says that everything must now be to 18th Edition!

    But as a competent electrician you test and inspect the current reg's, at the moment the 18th. That's always been the case, it makes no difference to the inspector whether the property is to be let or not. It's got nothing to do with the schemes, unless I'm missing something.

    The new Landlords' EICR requirements. The law says that everything must now be to 18th Edition!

    I agree with Andy78 & Littlespark. To take your example re support of cable in escape routes. Are you saying that if you tested a property designed and installed to the 16th and found a noncompliance you would deem it satisfactory, but if you went next door to an identical situation but that...

    UK IP rated cu 18th edition ?

    This is an example where knowledge of the regs alone will not give a definitive answer. You need experience and common sense also. There is a need to consider 421.1.201, non-combustible etc with 512.2.1, design appropriate to situation and 522.3.1, taking condensation into account. I will...

    Sockets in bathrooms

    It already does allow sockets in bathrooms, and not 3m from zones but 3m from zone 1. So, it can't be within 2.4m of the bath or shower. 1591997930 You have a bath on the landing? :)

    Hi I’m new here. I’m a non prof DIY er. Having problems with fitting Trendiswitch two way light switch

    Then take it back Gab, you have been miss-sold. You'll need to go to an electrical wholesaler to get that I should think.

    Hi I’m new here. I’m a non prof DIY er. Having problems with fitting Trendiswitch two way light switch

    Then you have bought the wrong switch, one side of the original is an intermediate. This now makes sense with all the conductors in the box. As stated, you need an electrician, 10 minutes tops.

    Wireless alarms

    That went well. Clicked the link, filled out the form only to get a phone call from them telling me to buy a domestic kit from TLC. I'm looking for a wireless system for licensed premises. Guess I'll stick to Scantronic if only for the better customer care.

    Bit of puzzler 3way.... any ideas please

    One of the conductors at one of the the 2 way switches will be live when all the concuctors are disconnected. Surely this will give you the colours of the strappers and common on the other 2 way swtch. Providng this is true, it should be easy to show whether the problem is in a switch or the jb...

    So where would you say was the main earthing terminal?

    size of earthing conductor from switched isolator to CU

    You will need to work out the minimum csa for the protective conductor. From experience I'd be surprised of the 6mm wasn't adequate.

    Single Cable calculation for hot tub?

    I'm not trying to catch you or anyone out, it's a question to which I did not know the answer myself. It's never dawned on me to calc the Zs using the rcd and not the ocpd, that's why I asked Dave if he uses this method. It also prompts the question, if using this method when testing, do you...

    Single Cable calculation for hot tub?

    The question was for Davesparks. But since you answered it, if you put this down on your certs, why did you need to ask the question in the first place? Surely you must of known why your software gave such a high max Zs as you use it all the time.

    Single Cable calculation for hot tub?

    Is that what you put on your certificates Dave? Or do you put the max Zs for the ocpd? Serious question. 1590154471 I agree totally with this, but he's not using an RCBO he's using a 60898 type B. There is an RCD in there somewhere, I assume it's a dual RCD board or similar.

    Single Cable calculation for hot tub?

    Probably just a glitch in the software, have you tried re running it or running the calc with a different ocpd?
