bathroom light question/boiler earth bonding

I thought it was called Home Office Skirt, suppose that's sexist nowadays

Now now, skirts have long been gender neutral, I'm told

With respect, elsparko.
You (and your boss) should get properly acquainted with the current issue of BS7671 before you make any further attempts at inspections, testing and coding what appear to be perfectly acceptable installations.

they arent "perfectly" acceptable , maybe just by the skin of their noses, non enclosed fittings are an accident waiting to happen in a bathroom.

if you would be happy signing off cheap metal fittings in a bathroom as acceptable for use then be my guest, but i wont put my name to it.

the boss i have now is up to speed with the 17th edition, my last boss was learning alongside me and giving bad advice at times, the boss isnt always right, but they are always the boss.

What you install may well exceed the requirements, we all do that.
My point is that you cannot code something as Cx just because that’s your feeling about it.
It must actually contravene a regulation.

When have they changed from battens to cheap metal fittings.

i never said they were battens? i said they were pendant style lights.

See this is one of the reasons I don't do EICR, too much interpretation of how ---- something is.

I know lets have a National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting or even a National Association of Professional Inspectors and Testers. Then you'd all be singing from the same hymn sheet

when i see something such as pendants in a bathroom my mind instantly thinks back to those "faces of death" videos of people dying in dumb ways, wouldnt take much effort for a lanky chap to grab the pendant whilst getting in or out of the bath if its within reach.

i dont like exposed lamps where there is likelyhood of water splashing onto the hot glass.

 

[elsparko]

the boiler offence i stated was my mistake though, should of checked rather than listening to my old boss and relying on that as gospel

Well ----, if you wanna step out in front of a bus, and see who comes off worse off, be my guest (my best gunnery sergeant highway talk)

I always nod, listen to my boss and do the opposite.

In my previous experiences my bosses never come up with any ideas that been haven't already suggested. Only difference was I had to acknowledged how brilliant their concept was. Not that I've had anything new to add, but they thought they did.
