Inadequate inspections on the safety of wiring in buildings across England are increasing the risk of fires, E&T has found. A flawed regulatory system has sparked a race to the bottom, with some businesses profiting at the expense of the public’s safety.

  • Apparently the first requirement for 30 mA RCD Supplementary Protection in a TN earthed installation was the provision of a 30 mA protected socket for outdoor use in 1981.

    If that is true don’t you find it rather surprising that some people are still saying that such a socket is still not required forty one years later?

    If you are careful to maintain your equipment for use outdoors, and you are careful how you use it, are you really in danger?

    I am no more concerned about it than driving a 90 year old car on the roads.
