BS7671 - It's A School Day (Every day is a school day)

Sergio Fernandez

Something to ponder for a Friday


Should the period of inspect for schools fixed electrical systems be shortened from 5 years to 3 or even made annual?

Should schools for under 16 years be granted special location status in BS7671?

Should all circuits in schools be protected by a 30mA RCBO/RCD regardless of their use?  This would apply to new or existing circuits.

Should schools have an accessible earth rod/disc and an inspection pit?


As always please be polite and respectful in this purely academic debate. 



Come on everybody lets help inspire the future.

    BS 7671 has requirements (where applicable) for the parents evening or summer fair in Sections 711 (and possibly 740).

    A school or similar environment is subject to Electricity at Work Regulations, and therefore ought to have a duty holder responsible for electrical safety, and has a duty to consider safety at such "events".
