So who signed off these apartments ? Seems they got it wrong too.

So who signed off these apartments ? Seems they got it wrong too.

As stated before by another poster ommisions are allowed with regards to sockets if socket serves a particular item but is labeled but this circuit was a ring in the kitchen that passed through a grid switch that appliances were feed off with no sockets as part of the ring. I found out today the designs were drawn up 5 years ago but designs released a few months ago for a few more apartments rcbos are highlighted on every circuit!

Bit poor imo, they let cowboys in all the time! Sounds like you know what you're doing, just a slip up under pressure, and not really your fault, no one in any harm, wouldn't worry about the comments on here a lot of these people ARE perfect.

Yeah, sounds like you used the wrong installation for your assessment and sounds like you need to brush up on the regs a bit so you can be more confident as a sparky in general, not just during assessment.

At least it sounds like you're not dwelling on it too much. Forget the others who you've seen are not competant and just concentrate on bettering yourself. Get your head into the latest edition of the regs and do some reading and hang around the forum and check out some of the older threads. I'm sure it won't take too long before your knowledge gets better and your confidence will follow.

Op sorry for your situation. As others have pointed you either have your knowledge and arguments ready if you feel the assessor is incorrect or do it by the book or better. Surely you could have taken them on a job that you did in the last few months that did not contain anything other than fully upto date compliant install methods.
Again it doesn't help you but this is also the 1st time I have heard of a scam outright "fail" a potential customer. What happens there ? Does it mean a retest ? Do you just loose all your cash or do you get a partial refund......TBH im happily stunned (But sad for you op)

Wouldn't it be fun to inspect the work of some of these 'perfect' people.

Inspector would just pop his head in, bow down to them and leave, job done, hallelujah

Take in on the chin, don't dwell on it and move on. What is done is done.
Do some research on the requirements for additional protection.

 

[Starspark]

What makes you think a ring final circuit cannot be protected with an mcb at the DB?
RCD protection can be provided at each point via an RCD socket outlet, there is not necessarily a requirement for the whole circuit to have RCD protection.

Good Answer ie If you have a radial Ip rated external socket outlet yes the rcd "Can" be Incorporated Into the external S/O It IS still In line with regards to that particular circuit and could In some circumstances be beneficial ie In a split load Rcd C/U situation so as not to affect other circuits bcoz It IS further up stream as long as It has 30milliamp trip current?

Blimy, this one's a blast from the past!

It's the similar threads feature we're rocking. I've stopped it going back further than 3 years. Else we would have this happen on even older threads!
