The site where i work has had some work done by en external contractor and i have noticed above the lift out ceiling the old type round joint boxes just laying around on the ceiling not fixed in any way .
to my mind i think they should be either changed to something that has a stain relief or fixed in some way
Am i just being picky or am i right to pull this?
any thoughts would be appreciated

What does the Big Green Book (or whatever colour it is today) have to say about it?

 

[telectrix]

and i suppose the cables are just lying on the tiles as well, not fixed. total shoddy workmanship. even a geordie or a manc. could do better. :juggle2:

Hope you drop your balls.......everthing is fixed in scouseland, if not it's gone in no time.

522.8.5 states "every cable or conductor shall be supported in such a way that it is not exposed to undue mechanical strain and so that there is no appreciable strain on the terminations of the conductors, account being taken of mechanical strain imposed by the supported weight of the cable or conductor itself".
but doesn't say any thing about strain relief(that i could decipher) , my issue is that if someone were to pull another service across the ceiling the terminations could become loose

526.6 there should be no appreciable strain on the connections of the condutuctors.
i guess its like all the regs its down to the individuals interpretation of the books.....:confused5:

I think you'll find there is nothing like these requirements in the ''Shop Fitters Electrical Guide''!!!

The cables shouldn't be on ceiling tiles either they should be fastenend up with hangers, tray, clipped amongst the many options but not laying across the tiles + however this is achieved a method should be used where in the event of a fire the cabling system will not melt away/fail dropping all the wires across the room.

So, does a standard EC15 comply?
