B.S. 7671 Compliant?

Is this compliant?

Seeing is believing! One photo shows a ceiling covered in wires that could be mistaken for long spider legs
  • Well it could be.

    Not one of your jobs ist it Zoom

    ?

  • possibly- no need to route in ‘zones’ as route is visible.   Zs and earthing generally we do not know. Cable rating likely to be OK for lights.

    Are those clips of a design that would drop the cable in a fire ? 

    That is the most likely non-compliance, even so if the jb and rose are screwed to the ceiling it rather depends where the other cables go - they may not collapse far enough to be a problem.

    Not pretty of course, but the sort of thing you see during a live-in refurbishment.

    It is Russian I assume, given the tag, and there I'm sure it will be legal.

  • Perhaps the photo is upside down.

    Z.

  • My take on it is the jb is for power not lighting, with drops to sockets. Perhaps the property was prone to regular flooding ?

    I think I would agree. There is another cable coming into the ceiling rose on the LHS. The JBs are feeding sockets.
