By the looks of it your trying to blame Brian!
LFB wanted something done and the powers that be decided to do something and be seen doing something.
:C
but as usual, instead of approaching the problem the proper way, and finding out what is causing the fire in the first place and fixing the problem, were just going with '**** if it it catches fire, just stick it inside a fireproof box'
out of all these CU fires, how many are old fuseboxes / new plastic CU's, and how many fail on the tails or other connections?

You said it... I was also gonna mention the electrium recalls how many are still out there???
Proteus anyone?
But oh no it must be these stupid sparkies who can't use a screwdriver without numbers on!

Just a thought.....
Exploding into,a ball of flames must ONLY be a UK based problem of biblical proportions!
Why?...i hear you ask
Well isn't the appropriate reg number a UK reg. And NOT a CENELEC reg....denoted by a 100 or 200 in the reg number?
And since WE have to buy an upgraded reg book because of CENELEC changes does this mean that all of Europe will have to follow OUR silly little reg?
Or do the conflict shirking cheese eating surreneder monkeys, or for that matter the mid-conflict allegiance changers have stronger wrists than we do
Just probably not thought this through properly

or,
dare I suggest it,
do the cheese eating surrender monkeys simply have a better system than ours where you cannot 'claim' to be an 'electrician' after 5 days of 'training'. ?

good point,
Ive been thinking about this,
do we have to use the alternative protection methods on every install?
I can fore-see a lot of domestic customers unwilling to pay the extra money, so will either stick with their existing 40+ yo install, or go with Bob from the pub that is instantly £150 cheaper, so where else is he cutting corners??????
as another point of view,
what about the DNO and their piss poor connections in their meters and REC 2s, ?
or, as always, are they going to be immune....?
Well, we can apparently not put our 100ma TD in a plastic enclosure before the MC CU so not really what I done before
Sharpend
"It Just Is"
Strange that the DNO's don't have to change to metal enclosures, seeing as they are as responsible for the fires?????
This has come from the Niceic.

Im going with immunity.
They will be piss poor and when the high resistance joint burns the house down trumpton will put it down as a cu fire and sparkies will get the blame!
Did I mention the large increase in unskilled persons doing electrical work from around 2008 onwards?
TT was mentioned in another thread - basically, wylex have said use a stuffing gland where cables enter enclosure
as for the REC2's, does that mean i cant install one under 7671, but DNO can under ESQCR?
erm... wasnt part p 2005
Wasn't talking pee it's more xenophobic than that...
thinking about it, it was more like 2004
onwards

my torque screwdriver use my friggin big muscles probably like most of the contractors here
Well if its only London, why not introduce a regulation, so that London is a special location and must have metalclad fuseboard, rest of UK fine :innocent
Also if the majority of the fires are in London, you must ask why :innocent
For me its just the industry making money yet again, making a problem that will cost the end user to put right :red card

The problem with that is that over tightening can cause just as many problems as under tightening....
As said above about TT, there is no change in using metal enclosures as long as the cables are clamped. One brand (forgotten who) on the new range has both clamps above the main switch & a stuffing gland for the 2 , 25mm tails.
I think thats Hager Slips

wylex / craptree have also introduced a stuffing gland for the tails
