[QUOTE="cheggers, post: 8568, member: 200"] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, although there are no specific regs to state what colour is used for what - it is upto the indivual spark on what colour h e uses for what. I was told to use the Brown as Live, Grey - sleeved brown/ Live or Sleeved Blue/Neutral and to sleeve the Black Green/Yellow for Earth. I was told the reason for this is that Neutrals should not be associated with the old colour Black. (what difference that makes when it is sleeved Blue - I don't know). We are never going to, not associate black as neutral for a very very long time. there are too many installs out there in the old colours. I am an niciec contractor and I always sleeve black blue, to me it makes sense. [/QUOTE]
