Exposed: Cash for logos and drive by inspections

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.

  • The debate about the requirement for RCD protection in PRS homes could have been completely avoided if the Government had followed the Working Group recommendation to issue Government guidance.

    The debate clearly demonstrates why there is not any uniformity in PRS EICR.

    It also worth noting that back in 1981 the requirement for sockets supplying equipment used outdoors to have 30 mA RCD protection was intended to give additional protection to people using lawn mowers and similar equipment, but now there are the extension leads running out of homes to supply EV Granny chargers, often in a shared communal area or on the public highway.

    Point well-and-truly missed, sadly. We've had the "what to code" debates many times before ... repeating people's (somewhat different) opinions in this thread has, sadly, hijacked it, and there's little I've seen that will address the salient points of the article, in the 104 replies so far.

    Perhaps that's why it was seen as impractical to issue Government Guidance ... we'd still be waiting for it.
