Any idea what regulation covers this?

[tyfish]

Evening guys know its late but wondering if I could pick your brains........ A mates called me for advice. Had a new boiler fitted, but sounds like a right cowboy job! Read of a whole list of problems, and he wanted me to give him some electrical ammunition to throw at them. The control panel is only held on by one screw (guess) and it can be spun round by about 90 degrees :dizzy2:. He wants a regulation to throw at them, I don't know if its just cos its late or I'm a tw@, but I cant for the life of me find a reg that even says it has to be attached to the wall in the 1st place! Spent the last 45mins searching, read section 5, know there must be something, somewhere, but cant for the life of me find it! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What sort of control panel are we talking about?

Is it a remote stat?
panel within the boiler?
time clock?

Hi Dillb I think its the central heating programmer

Not got BGB to hand but merely the selection and erection of the install would cover this. Might even be worth a read of the manufacturers instructions.

Probably 134.1.1 good workmanship and also the Building regulations section paragraph 7 again performed in a workman like manner.

Also 526.6 and 526.7 no strain on connections, and the enclosure shall provide adequate protection.

Nice one Richard! Completey missed those! Just came across 530.4.1 & 530.4.2 Which is very similar. Hate this book if I wrote it, there would be a reg that say's screw it to the wall until it don't wobble.....simples lol
