Make it simple for Dummies.

[alexander jackson]

Gentlemen and Ladies (if present).
Is there anywhere that can explain in simple English some of the tick boxes in the test schedule for a new installation. For the most part they make sense but some are (to me ) a bit difficult to follow.
Perhaps someone has compiled a 'For Dummies' style booklet or even a page on this forum.
Many thanks in advance.
Mark.

who will do ............... absolutely nothing.

Not true, they'll issue a new amendment then charge you £100's to comply with it.

I'm not remotely a fan of these schedules. I think they are unnecessary and confusing.

For example:

1.3 Distributor's earthing arrangement

3.1 (a) Distributor's earthing arrangement or installation earth electrode arrangement

So which is relevant to the Distributor's earthing arrangement?

To my mind these boxes serve no purpose whatsoever. (And I don't just mean the ones mentioned - I mean all of them. A simple signature that the installation has been inspected against the Requirements of BS7671 should be adequate instead of pages upon pages of crap.

Hear Hear Risteard. Spot on post that.

I would like to what the plain English campaign would make of the various forms, especially the checklists - it's gobbledygook to Joe and Josephine Public..
