[QUOTE="SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH, post: 266382, member: 16"] This is where the grey areas are. Why should different codes be given simply due to the age of the install. Why is it when something is the norm a blind eye is given. As an example, how many 12v downlights have you connected with the round style, screw terminal junction box laying in the ceiling void, then the choc box or similar comes along with cable grips and the old JB's are now incorrect. The old JB'S were always not 100% correct if not fixed, but then they would not be accesible if they were. Next 'big scare' will be different manufactureres parts in consumer units. how many code 2 will be issued ? In my case what if the owner says he does not have a car, the garden area's are common ground so he will never need to use equipment outdoors & due to the age of the install Rcds are not needed ? Can anyone tell me when did DNO's start insisting on 16mm earth and 10mm bonding in place before they would connect to a PME supply ? [/QUOTE]
