New build ring circuit regulations -help please

[Davehaywire]

In a new build , I have noticed how the Sparks that have wired the house (4 bed 3 storey town house)

They have put the kitchen appliances sockets/kitchen worktop sockets/boiler fcu/1st floor sockets/2nd floor sockets on a 32A ring and the ground floor sockets only 4 sockets on another 32A ring.

personally I would of kept the kitchen ring separate from any other sockets, even worktop/appliances separate
and each floor on its own ring in an ideal world, separate circuit boiler fcu etc etc

I know they do things on the cheap to get these houses up.

Does anyone knows the regulation on keeping the kitchen ring separate from other sockets due to
loading , is there one? or can they get away with wiring like this

i also noticed the Sparks have used a Megger electrical cert and client has no cert back from building control to certify the electrical works

What exactly do you mean by 'noticed'? You'd have to be looking pretty hard to just notice things like that.

The story has a slight whiff of kippers about it.

Noticed as I looked round it very briefly and looked at the cert on a pdf nothing whiffy

Do you work in the domestic sector at all?

I'm lost, which regulation do you want advice on? A regulation number would help!

paul, my response was intended to provoke against a pretty ****** op. My money is on the cert being wrong, so only a proper test will determine what has actually been installed. A quick look around would NOT reveal this

 

[Davehaywire]

So if a fault was to occur on the fore mentioned ring the whole house power and boiler would be off

Slight inconvenience I think

not very well thought out

He may be only going by the cert that has been issued/seen:- "Megger electrical cert". This is his question imho? + any reg that this may be against.

its still better than the muppets who install boards with a single RCD.

I STILL don't understand how you can conclude the cert you have seen is actually a correct reflection of the installation.....
