[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 389360, member: 1607"] Toward the beginning of Section 559 of the regs it states that luminaries should comply with relevant standards for manufacture and test. A lighting industry trade association offers this guidance for people wanting to design or manufacture light fittings. [URL="http://www.thelia.org.uk/files/docs/is-your-lighting-safe-1362063663.pdf"]http://www.thelia.org.uk/files/docs/is-your-lighting-safe-1362063663.pdf[/URL] So as Sidewinder suggest using Section 559 and this guidance, ask your supplier to verify in writing how these fittings meet the current standards. Remember deviations and departures are permitted from BS7671 providing that it can be proved to be no less safe than if it did comply with BS7671. This is covered in the opening chapters 12 & 13.
