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.

    Be careful what you are undertakng responsibility for in terms of risk - the items and checks you mention are beyond the remit of BS7671.




     


    Those matters are the responsibility of the house owner or letting agent, but if I notice the deficiencies I will mention them to the owner "off the record". Some owners live far away from their holiday homes and let remotely. There lies a danger.
