I suspect that many out there 'at the coal face' are aware of what is happening and are just ignoring those parts of the regulations which they cannot understand, and are reverting to what they know actually matters by engaging 1st principles - remember them? Back in the day when critical thinking wasn't a crime, and was indeed encouraged within our educational institutions? I rather suspect that the tome formerly published by that well respected Body formerly known as the Institute of Electrical Engineers is fast become irrelevant to those who have fast become frustrated by it's rebranding and constant over-reach and it's ever increasing vagueness.
I predict a slump in sales with every future amendment as people wake up and realise that they can no longer depend upon it's contents and will go their own way to redefine what actually constitutes a safe electrical installation in future.
