Does This Comply?

Zoomup

Location: Loft.

Accessibility: Difficult.

Junction box made out of a double pattress and a blanking plate. All plastic.

Internal joints inaccessible.

Thoughts?

    I can recall an article by (IIRC) somebody from Wago in Professional Electrician 2 - 3 years ago about the interpretation of "accessible". If my memory is not failing completely, the article acknowledged that even under the floorboards was reasonably accessible. I tend to agree, but I hate tongue & groove boards.

    If the loft is inaccessible (and even if it is), the JB would normally fall outside an EICR.
