Does this installation violate any regulations?

Andrew Lees

I have a water pipe running above and in close proximity to my electrical meter and CU (consumer unit) and I was wondering if this violates any installation regulations and would likely mean that I cannot obtain an electrical installation inspection certificate for my property?

The house did not originally have plumbing in this area and the previous owners have installed this pipe to service a shower room on the floor above.

Any thoughts on if this is a problem would be appreciated. Suggestions for what can be done would also be welcomed.

Thanks,

Andrew.

    Just to avoid any confusion, it's not possible to obtain a certificate for an existing installation - the wiring regs only issue certificates for new work (where the designer, installer & inspector/tester all sign). For an existing installation you get a report (usually an Electrical Installation Condition Report, or in the old days a Periodic Inspection Report) which is a different kind of beast altogether.
