I have been put in a situation where there is a quantity of 1.0 mm T & E available to use

I would ask why are you installing old colours???


Retired sparky with a few reels still in storage I guess. I'm just waiting for the first person to ask if it is notifiable work and covered under part-p!!!!! Be nice to the new member please, after all he has been a sparky most of his life.
 
what making a DB look like a Panini sticker album?

Lol!

We also should know that there is 230 volts at a single phase distribution board. Still has a warning label on it though.

We live in a world where we need to install 'mind your head' signs on low ceilings so in perspective the harmonisation label seems obvious.
 
True but it's a reg 514.14

Well thats it then, we must abide by every word the regs say. I had better go and get me some stickers and go and fit them on all the jobs I have done where there has been a cross over in colours because someting bad may happen.

Unfortunately if you believe all this "we need telling everything" attitude to society then there is something very long with life it self.

Yea maybe you should then lol. I keep a reel of mixed colour stickers in the van so it's not really no hardship to me to stick a sticker on the DB at a cost of a few pence haha.
 
Tbh putting the colours sticker on the cu now is a waste of time and money. I think I'm going to stop putting them on from Monday.
 
Just because its wrote in a book you pay alot of money for doesnt mean you have to you know.

Yeah I know. Just because there are double yellow lines outside my local shop doesn't mean I can't park there. Just means if I do I run the risk of a fine.

I choose to to follow the book to the best of my ability. If you don't. Makes no difference to me.
