[QUOTE="The Godfather, post: 2585, member: 218"] Regulations or not, there is a FCU in place, we are limited to 13A by a BS1362 fuse link. And yes we should maintain the 2.5mm up to the FCU (compliance). We have to consider worst case scenario: Under a fault condition the (BS1362) fuse will blow, there will be no damage to the cable. If we mark this a Code 2 (and insist or imply it should be rectified), it could be a costly repair, in particular to the decor of the installation. Sometimes on an inspection, one should apply 'real world' solutions or comments. [I]but yes ultimately in this instance we have non compliance[/I] Don [/QUOTE]
