m4tty,

I'm on the 1st page of Swansea!

If I knew your co. name I'd check you out!!!

Don't post on open forum, I'll try to find you in the directory!

 

[ianmacd]

Yep I'm on there.

 

[Sidewinder]

Ian,

You won't be on there unless registered with a scam so the DNO can find you on that!

Ian,You won't be on there unless registered with a scam so the DNO can find you on that!

Is there something wrong with my typing? Is it coming across badly? I said I was on there.

Also if you read the document you may notice the part that says they will not check on websites for your registration so I guess they have been given a database already.

Ian,

There is no need to be so off it!

You took my post in the exact opposite manner to that which it was intended!

If you are on there then then you are registered with a scam, thus the DNO will have this info available to them I suspect?

The only ones who will know how they have the data will be them I suspect.

No point in me reading that document as "my" DNO is WPD.

For long term disconnections the metering operator is the one anyway, thus, the client has to arrange this as I understand it due to the Financial Services Act limits.

IF I have to work in any other DNO area where I may require a disconnection I will deal with that as I need to.

Sidey - WPD has been bought out by SSE Mate - Their new signwritten van was in my street just the other day. (Don't forget that they also bought SWALEC out, I believe it was in 2000).

And Ian is registered with Elecsa, just as it says under his username.

I believe SW's reply was trying to imply that as I am there its ok rather than I need to be registered to be there. I misunderstood it too.

With regards pulling main fuses :

It is a requirement of BS7671 that there must be a means of isolation for the consumers installation. This installation includes the meter tails from the meter to the consumer unit. The only way that BS7671 can be adhered to is if the supply company fit an isolator which breaks all line conductors before they become the proprty of the consumer. The fitting of e.g. a Wylex REC2s in a single phase domestic property will satisfy this requirement since the consumer tails CAN BE ISOLATED.

The real issue is surely : by NOT fitting an isolator, are the supply company complicit in forcing non-adherence to BS7671 by the consumer. The problem is that the consumers installation is governed by BS7671, yet the supply network is governed by different rules.

I wonder what Health and Safety would say to consumer protection bodies on such an issue?

Sorry for the delay but I have been away from the office. I have spoken to my colleagues and these requests need to be made to the customer
