its something in 7671 i was looking for. im sure there was a table that said something like 3.5m over pedestrian access and 5.3 above a road / vehicle access
It is definitely in 7671 somewhere!!

i know, but i cant find it. i think we need someone with a digital searchable version. @kerching @Sidewinder?
any links / reg numbers? (short version, truck hit cable 4.2mtr high from house to garage)
I only got the old red book, i could find it in there i suppose, but would the reg number have changed??

ive looked a few times but 404... seems as though the only reference to specific heights is in the OSG as M107 posted earlier
Its one of the Reg's hidden secrets Andy.
I have some measurements in my head but refrain from posting them in case they're wrong.
In 417.3 in the Placing out of Reach section , it refers us to the ESQ&CRs 2002
I can only see a given height in the Agriculture section 705.522 which is 6m
Oh thats the old Big Red too ...which is still used on the desk ... Big Yellow is in the van .
There is a plethora of advice in the 15 Edition but thats of no use really is it ! But I could show you how much better it deals with the subject .
Oh how easier things seem in those far off halcyon , sun dappled peaceful days that mellowed into a warm eventide as the golden Sun sank into a millpond ocean .... Oh !and skirts were 10 inches above the knee.

you mean they had all that useful info in 15th edition, but they then removed it from the newer ones to fill it with lettuced like dont use plastic CU in a house, they will catch fire, but they are fine in an office
Andy,
Overhead lines must be in compliance with ESQCR.

this is a private cable between house & garage
BS7671 refers to ESQCR, thus, ESQCR applies to these private overhead cables.
It would take some back research to find at what actual point in time BS7671 bowed out in deference to ESQCR.
However for the current book, ESQCR applies to private overhead cables.
If you need more info, I would have to go back through my archives.
which reg in 7671 says refer to ESQCR? looking in ESQCR it should have been at 5.8mtr... slightly higher than the 4.2 it was installed at...
cant argue with those pictures. leaves nothing open to interpretation unlike todays version
