Quote:well, it depends on the situation dosnt it
yep
Quote:im not sure that removing the plug constitutes acsessable means of isolation either
That would depend upon if the socket was accesible really
Quote:fancy pulling a 415 v 3 phase plug out if the metal kopex was live?
Surely it would be properly earthed
Quote:i cant be bothered to find regs relating to it
but what you must both not forget is that weather there is a reg or not any court would wipe the floor with you over bad design and instalation
Yes they would, Well at least who's fitting them, I don't fit single sockets without isolation, and unswitched sockets are just for people who use 1mm cable instead of 1.5mm, altho probably not quite the same
Anyway theres houses with lots of unswitched sockets and no isolation, the plug is the isolation it's simple as that, sockets shouldnt be concealed unless they have another switch for control
