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.

We were not aware of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete until the start of term was being delayed for several schools.

As parents/gaurdians and engineers we have a duty of care to all that are in education to make sure they are safe. The rules in BS7671 should be written as if we are custodians of the UK wiring system. The rules we help shape now will become our legacy.

I think that we can make schools safer for the people inside those buildings. For the workers and the learners.
