Minimum values of insulation resistance

What is the science behind the 1 MOhm minimum insulation resistance? What is the basis for this particular value?

  • The shocks will not be just down to an an NE short on its own.

    Something else also has to be wrong, and indeed that needed investigation - and may well have been a broken CPC to boiler or sockets given your description of the fault found and the symptoms. I presume a MET wanderlead  R2 reading or a voltage test MET to the plumbing would also have shown up a problem - it does suggest the previous sparks were at best slipshod, if not dangerously negligent.
