Your answers Gentlemen, please. This is indicating a serious problem in the Industry. Trust is now zero. I am disgusted with the behavior of these alleged "inspectors" who are dim, dumb, deaf and blind, and cannot read the BBB. It is not good enough is it?
Andy, surely you are not suggesting that those two cases, sad as they are, is justification for condemming installations which are fully compliant? I suppose you mean that if they were installations exactly to the latest regulations neither would have happened? If so you need to provide hard evidence as to why. A stuck RCD wouldn't, would it but if you are suggesting that new installations are totally safe under all conditions you are miles wide of the mark. A few people will always have accidents of some kind. Take "smart" motorways, presumably to all the latest regulations, but killing more people than before those regulations took effect (traffic not electrical).
The ultimate effect of over coding is that less inspections are ordered, the fear of excess costs is very real. To do any overcoding on assumed "saftey" grounds is simply FRAUD. I assume you know what the BBB says on the matter.
