    To all, When the 17th came out I did the C & G update course and exam rather than the full course and exam as it was within a number of years from which I did my 16th. Does anyone know if this is still the case? I know that if it still is I would be outside that timeframe as I can't see any...

    I'm not sure if the Regs allowed separately bare earths.

This property has a separate CPC all through out the building. Only where there has been modifications, modern wiring has been used. If I can prove...

    Got "told" to run cables across a wall (about 1/2 way up) today by a Hungarian plumber (no accessories - so no safe zone)....... he seemed surprised when I declined to do it and obviously had no idea about UK cable safe zones ..........:) European regs anyone ?
