Earthing conductor route

That’s a 25mm2 earthing conductor run some 20m along a border hedge to an electrode at the rear of the building. It is a permanent, recent installation. When I commented on it the contractor lost his cool and screamed “what the hell is wrong with it”? I thought that the answer was obvious but my written response on behalf of the client is to be framed within the context of 7671. I have no difficulty in digging up the relevant regulations but they are subjective in nature. Anyway, all good fun!

    Interesting that it is trading standards. It is good that occasionally someone does get caught, but nothing like enough people are brought to book. Looking at the number of QS signed certs one sees, and the included accuracy, there probably should be a much larger number of prosecutions. The example above (a contractor we are told) is a disgrace. It is true that fraud prosecutions are very difficult but getting trading standards to take any notice is also difficult. A single case should get the QS struck off, multiple ones in prison. Unfortunately they are full! However I will continue with my efforts, we will see what happens.
