BS 3621 and Avivas home insurance advert.

UKPN
Following this weeks ongoing BS 7288 SRCD topic, a TV advert that gives me a chuckle is the above. The customer is being interrogated by a home insurance advisor and she is asking him if his home meets certain standards of security for an insurance quote. Coming to the door locks, and if they meet BS 3621 he, almost in tears remarks, " I don't know, nobody knows". It made me think of Jack, the imaginary workshop owner who changed his double sw/skt to a SCRD for safety and was told on an EICR it was potentially dangerous because it wasn't backed up by yet another 30ma rccd.


Regards, UKPN.

    Mike,

    I know just what you mean. I was once informed that the cable being utilised met BS 6200 (which is Sampling and Analysis of Iron, Steel and other Ferrous Metals). We worked out that they meant BS 6500 Electric Cables - Flexible Cords rated up to 300/500V.  There is a significant difference between the two standards.....
