NAPIT EICR Codebreakers New for The 18th Edition of the IET Wiring Regulations, NAPIT’s industry-leading EICR Codebreakers book. This publication has been further updated to include two subsequent amendments to the IET Wiring Regulations as BS 7671:2018+A2:2022. Q Can I ask NAPIT for advice on observation and coding issues if they are not covered by Codebreakers? If the inspector is removing the front cover and has caused the misalignment, I’d be concerned that the devices and CU were still live as both the main switch and circuit breaker are indicating the ‘on’ position. They may well be isolated elsewhere, which we can’t tell from this picture. Safe isolation is of paramount importance and can’t be stressed enough.

A No, Codebreakers gives a scenario and suggested observations, followed by an infringement and a code. For a different circumstance, it may be that the inspector wishes to choose different observation wordings or a different code, this is a real-world requirement and inspectors always have this option, however it detracts from the level playing field approach that NAPIT is striving to achieve.This Code of Practice provides advice on in-service inspection and testing to determine whether electrical equipment is fit for continued service. It reinforces the need of the duty-holder to conduct inspection and testing of equipment by considering the risks the equipment is exposed to, the environment it is used in, along with the skill level of the user. Wireless charging - expansion of coverage of this area as its potential begins to be established and realised As we look at this, it may seem there is an issue – some may say the cpc’s sharing the same sleeve is an issue, but in reality, it isn’t a problem, as they aren’t twisted together. Even from a periodic testing perspective, they’re very unlikely to cause a problem. The threat from vermin damage of any kind is always a problem, which can be exasperated for installations in either rural locations or where access for vermin is unavoidable. In circumstances such as these,where damage can be expected, careful choice of the wiring system to limit or deter vermin should always be determined. Where damage has been found, especially in extreme cases such as this one, the potential for fire can be high, as well as increasing danger due to access to live parts. The use of metal/plastic conduit systems, trunking and armoured cables are all useful in protecting against vermin, but not always practicable, especially in domestic scenarios. After repairs are carried out, the installation of AFDDs could disconnect the circuit before any future damage could initiate a fire risk. AFDDs, however, won’t remove the vermin, so a call to a reputable pest controller would also be a good idea for the client. It enables the competent electrician to deal with installations (up to 100 A, 3-phase) providing essential information in a convenient, easy-to-use format.

The 18th Edition is a major update to this title and contains extensive changes to many areas of BS 7671. This is the 5th edition of the IET's Code of Practice for In-service Inspection and Testing of Electrical Equipment.

Although at first glance this may seem to be a problem installation practice, in reality, there is unlikely to be a problem, and I don’t see as it needs to be coded; indeed, I’d struggle to find a Regulation that it directly infringes. There is also the reality that to remedy it would be impractical as the wall structure coverings would need to be removed entirely and replaced, which isn’t likely to happen.Electrical Heating, Ventilation & Control (303) Apply Electrical Heating, Ventilation & Control filter If the devices themselves were accessible to isolate and reset, there were no signs of mechanical damage, IP infringements, or thermal damage; I would see this as a C3. There is no potential threat to life in this scenario, however, there is room for improvement. Please let us know should you like to discuss anything and we’ll get you in touch with an electrician who can provide a professional advice! Codebreakers: Well, what can I say, there are modifications, and then there are “modifications”! The manufacturer may not allow this kind of modification to its boards, and we should stress that it shouldn’t be done. In this case, however, we have to look at the merits of the modification and the location. This dry lining type pattress box is being used in the absence of the correct barrier, which is most likely just a plastic shroud.
