I know I am old grumpy and cynical as my wife tells me that every day!
However am I right in thinking that BS 7671 and LV installation design requirements are having to compensate for problems in the DNO supplies to building and at the other end poor quality appliances. It appears to me we are having to compensate for other people's failings.
For example having to compensate for DNOs not maintaining their supplies in good working order, I am thinking hear about PEN failures, although their is a statutory duty (ESQCR) to do so. At the other end poor quality appliances susceptible to transients, counterfieght goods from the Far East and generally not fit for purpose e.g a certain make of fridge freezers, washing machines and tumble driers.
Surely us LV piggy in the middle has become the meat in the sandwich?
