    Eicr standards

    I seem to remeber being taught /told that when doing an eicr you should test when possible to the regs that applied at the time of installation but bearing in mind the current regs. If that makes sense? So test to old standards but recommend upgrades as per new standards if you like

    Cheapest source of EN standards?

    I was wondering what is the cheapest option to get a (legitimate) copy of the EN standards, such as IEC/EN 62305 on lightening protection? I vaguely remember someone pointing out that the BS EN details are basically the same as the rest of the EU, and all derived from the IEC. So rather than...

    Hi all, In July I had a PodPoint Solo installed at my house. It was a secondhand unit from my father in law. I've just recently realised it's only be charging at 2kW and not at 7kW. I think this is because the CT clamp is not installed, is that right? Electrician hasn't installed a SWA cable...
