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

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.
