Hello can someone please help me. Im revision for 2330 303 written exam in a couple of days and I just want to check that a Periodic Inspection Report in the regs is now known as a Electrical Condition Report on page 396 BS7671:2008?
...and I'm in the U.S.
Just spotted this friendly-appearing site to ask a generic question.
When I get to asking how-2 questions, had I better find a U.S. forum because the grids are different, or are you-all either from all over or conversant with all over?
Thanks!

Looking for advice. Boiler is in locked cupboard in bathroom, outside Zone 2. Not sure on siting of FCU. I know it's commonly put inside the boiler cupboard, but what if the boiler needs to be turned off in emergency? I have the option of putting the FCU on the wall nearby - again outside...

Hello there
I need to move an existing combined cooker switch/ 13 A socket in a new kitchen, as the hob will be directly below the existing location.

To avoid replacing the whole 6mm cable, one...

Hello Guys,
Speaking to another spark who is registered with NAPIT, and he has said that he had a letter through the post, saying that kitchens and gardens are no longer special locations, and modifications to a kitchen or outside circuit no longer need to be notified? Is that true?
I have...

I've mentioned this elsewhere, but I thought that if I repeated it here, it might get more notice from the forum management.
We've had numerous posts where the OP has kept quiet about their location and level of experience. This can lead members to reply inappropriately and become frustrated at...
