Hi everyone, this is my first post , after spending 8 hours on line and no success ,being an M&E Manager electrically biased, I check for conformity on twelve domestic construction sites, one in particular has a design and build electrical contractor, my issue is in the electrical intake room in the basement of a new build 5 storey apartments, the tray and trunking is installed to a good standard however all the conduit from a stop end box on the trunking is in white plastic, at least 60 lengths serving both high level lights, sockets and life safety systems, can someone please tell me is their is a BS or regulation which opposes this install, also where do the fire regulations sit with this.
I respect your reply and quite honestly say you are correct, however standard practice and good install have been over taken by cost, eg trunking cut and not filed or sprayed, my question about the plastic conduit is all about cost and not standard practise, we have BS, BSEN, Manufactures recommendations, Building regulations etc etc, these are all interpreted in different ways nothing is cut in stone making our industry to diverse, yes contractors have to make money but not at the cost of the electrical installation.
