Coding, basically!

whjohnson
Assume a scenario where everything else in a domestic property is satisfactory but with the following exceptions -

Consumer unit is plastic but not in an escape route.

Consumer unit is MK 16th ed split load, with single RCD protection on one side but with the mcbs replaced by RCBOs for all circuits on the other side.

No surge protection present, and all other devices function correctly.

Tails are 16mm but there a 60A fuse in the cut out - verified during a meter change recently.


So, what, if any coding should be applied? I am at a complete loss to fail it in any respect.

    My take would be that the owner should be responsible for a good visual walk round post -let to ensure that no physical damage has occurred to any accessories or appliance flexes, but outside of that, there should be no other requirement save the usual 5 year checks..

    I also agree with checking the functionality of any fire detection apparatus, even if this is just pressing the 'Test' button on the smoke alarms.


    It would seem to be a sensible part of housekeeping. The accommodation needs to be cleaned, and beds made up, etc. between customers.
