New house - does the CU comply to the current regs

[Octopus]

So I was in a new build today - signed off 3 months ago...

No surface trunking, all cables in walls and ceilings ..... the OCPD's for circuits 1 to 3 look wrong to me

Discuss!

Well the OP says, or I believe he says that the first 3 OCPDs look wrong, but I see where you are coming from.

So Pete999 - would you wire a new house in 2017 or 2018 without RCD protection to these circuits?

you think that's bad ,been to a customers house today .
to put back there light .they had upgrade c/u not one sticker on ,done two weeks ago ,ask the customer any paper work with that ,no he said .I will chase the spark that fitted it.

 

[Pete999]

Lack of RCD protection .......... obviously.

Dual colour label - wtf
Smoke alarms label - not completed

And no, the design wasn't 10 years ago ......

Sorry I thought you actually meant that they were wrong types etc

maybe the installer cant read so just fits every sticker he is provided with

Not a RCD / RCBO just an MCB but the test button worked... according to the results.

So it’s all in conduit, method B?

Definitely not above the ceiling .....

I was wondering about the reasoning behind having "three" against the smoke alarms rather than 3

The description on cert says "fixed wiring for 3 / 4 bedroom house, 4 storey" ................ whereas its a 3 bedroom, 3 storey house!
