[QUOTE="Sharpend, post: 521898, member: 17152"] I’m sorry [USER=33225]@Speed[/USER] but I think this is more about your interpretation rather than hard factual evidence. The Regs are there as a minimum standard and if you as an engineer can find a no less safe way to install them you can deviate from them therefore they can not be law, as the law is the law and breaking it can bring legal action against you. If you can support your deviation then legally no action must be taken as you have only not followed guidance. So for the lesser engineers who can’t think outside the box and maintain safety of the design, then it is wise to follow the minimum standard of the Regs, which is probably the majority, however I would expect a senior engineer to be comfortable with the odd deviation without sweating over it?
