Scotland, Old style lighting JB, Will it pass an EICR, Photo attached

[KentSparky]

Hi

I have taken on a kitchen rewire, with a utility & bathroom addition too, In the loft there is an old style junction box for the lighting circuit, I've seen this method before in many old council houses, Its fed from a 10A mcb with 1.5mm t&e & it is a central point for lots of loop fed switching & a common for many feeds, basically just allowing many parallel connections.

I was always trained to wire in series for lighting, keeping my neutrals at the switches, I'm wondering if this breaches any wiring regulations, The maximum load does not exceed 10A for the over all circuit, the 1.5mm t&e feed is about 10 meters & does come through some light fiber wool insulation, so I'm happy that no cable carrying capacities have been breached, & currently plan to tidy up the JB somewhat, with some extra earthing & better connections.

It will be a minor works certificate for this one, as there is no new circuit.

Thoughts please, would you pass it?

I wouldn't think you were planning to add your new cables to that mess so just show the owner the pictures and advise them what you recommend

Damn! My loft is full of these metal boxes...
Still, good tight connections, everything in its place, what could go wrong?
