[QUOTE="boltonsparky, post: 504948, member: 4678"] Totally agree. They pump out new regs and amendments at an alarming rate without looking at the real underlying issues which are, lack of knowledge/experience, poor workmanship, unfit for use/knock off equipment flooding the markets and unproper regulation of the industry. People who've had new installs and later being told they need to replace their perfectly healthy plastic CU with a metal one when the real issue with CU's going up in smoke is poor terminations and lack of regular inspection/maintenance. Them trying to push AFDDs onto everyone when again, good workmanship in the first place and regular inspection and testing/maintenance should eliminate pretty much all of the faults an AFDD may or may not pick up and protect against. Poor regulation of and EICR prices being driven down to unprofitable by estate agents and therefore done from the van or an installation given a quick glance over with a load of unnecessary C2s/C1s to generate enough income from the remedials to cover the cost of the loss leading EICR.
