I don't think he has this in mind !
Is wood an acceptable material ?

of course it could be made of tissue paper as long as it is in a non readily combustable enclosure e.g. couple bits of wood and plasterboard

depending on the wood it will take a lot more to burn than most plastics, ask tony or any of the others how long it takes to burn an old wylex board on a fire

Your just been silly now.

i don't think we are supposed to install wooden consumer units now but i wouldnt go ripping out old boards for the sake of it.

a good condition untouched bs3036 board full of micc will easily outlive all of us and most modern boards

In city's the other day some chap walked in with a property maintenance T-shirt on and asked the lad behind the counter for some connector block. The lad behind the counter asked what amp he wanted and the property maintenance T-shirt fella said I dunno it's to extend a cooker cable, you know the thick cable I'm on about. Lad behind the counter goes here you go and gives him a strip of 15amp connector block! Now that is the blind leading the blind lol

MDJ why do you assume Never failed my inspection because Idid not get one yet they kept cancelling my inspection, they are trying to tellme that it should take more than half a day for an inspection. The additional £348.00is for the additional hour’s good bloody money for half a day. So can’t fail itif never got it??

The first is usually a full day with 5 jobs needed to be seen, so that may explain the NICEIC requesting a full day.

 

[jengo22]

Ten years with them they are just trying to get more money that's the point of my post past all my inspections with out a problem. Why all of a sudden an additional half day good money at £348.00

 

[dingledong]

Only need to show 3 jobs now I believe

Well under the circumstances you could insist they answer you regarding this?

I would be pretty confidant that it does not comply with BS EN 61439-3 without reading the Standard.
