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?
Chapter 65. Periodic Inspection & Testing. "in order to ascertain, so far as is reasonably practical, whether the installation is in a satisfactory condition for continued service."
651.2 tells us what the installation shall provide regarding safety. Note 2 says that Existing installations may have been designed and installed to previous editions of BS 7671 applicable at the time of their design and erection. THIS DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT THEY ARE UNSAFE.
This implies that any inspector and tester must have qualifications and experience of electrical installations to enable correct judgements.
In domestic environments we have to consider the uses of, and possible abuses, of the electrical installation. "Satisfactory condition for continued use" comes to mind again.
What's the regulation that mentions something along the lines of protection of careless users?
