which code is this one?

[bluesky]

for an inspection, the consumer unit is only about 100mm above gas meter, which code do you guys think? i am thinking this is dangerous and have given code 1.

Hi, i'm new but have been a spark for over 10 years, I had this on a ELECSA inspection, the fuse board was about 100mm away from the main gas meter i mentioned it and showed the inspecto,r he said that it was ok as it was installed before the reg's got so tight. I still noted it and put it as a 4.

Cheers

Well the recommendation is a minimum of 150mm....so IMO 50mm closer doesnt suddenly become dangerous.....I would code 4...but accept it is down to the inspector to use his judgement.

Doesn't matter how far away the meter is if there is a gas leak and then a spark it will still go bang

I would code 4 it. Interestingly the gas fitters I come across dont seem to have a clue about this reg or the 75/50mm from a gas pipe to an elec cable.
