[quote author=The_Trician  link=1108741399/15#15 date=1109706614]The cooker is an appliance - nowt to do with Part P1ss.
You can connect a cooker/washing machine/spin dryer-whatever - even an immersion heater.
It is only the fixed wiring from the circuit breaker in the consumer unit to the cooker connection unit which comes under Part P1ss, and only then if you are daft enough to tell em about it.

This was what I thought, but to please certain people's I thought I'd just go along with it  

Fixed wiring is up to the CCU or FCU then!!

Btw Londonman, did you also know that Part-P has nothing to do with the IEE regulation's??, part-p set's out it's own requirements..some of them are the fundemental principles, but to be sure you need to be reading the approved document

Yea I go along with that

Re IEE regs not applying.  Fair enough but whenthat p**s pathetic document Part P1ss states 'fixed equipment' and then does not specify what that it, it just goes to show what a poorly drafted document it is.

The fact that the ODPM won't even reply to an email just goes to show how pathetically stupid they are.  Just to rattle a few more cages i'll write to my MP and get him to ask the t***ers.

jerryD asks some good questions...let me try and guess what *they* intended (nothing like interpreting the regs is there


shower pumps           probably in
in-line fans in the loft   out
waste disposal units     dunno
garbage crushers         no idea
microwave oven in housing   out
storage heater       yes...er no...er yes...er no ..oooooh, ee's gorgeous
central heating pump   no idea

No - that's precisely where you do not need to be looking, as that document has no legal significance.

And I fear that TT, Jerry D etc are wrong.  This is what the actual law says:

" "electrical installation" means fixed electrical cables or fixed electrical equipment located on the consumer's side of the electricity supply meter;"

You don't need to be much of a lawyer to realise that it's pretty hard to think of any circumstances in which you'd be arguing the toss in court and the judge would not decide that "fixed electrical equipment" meant exactly that - electrical equipment that was fixed.

The fact that an IEE publication, whatever its status, and whatever the status of BS7671 vis-a-vis Part P of the Building Regulations, has that definition of "fixed equipment" would only encourage the judge to take the view that the normal English meaning was to be construed.

IMPO.

I was unaware that the stat document specified such things.. It doesn't - it just uses terms like "fixed electrical equipment".  Which IMHO have a fairly obvious meaning which would be construed by LABC or a judge... [/quote]
Yea fair do's, btw still have not read document's back to front  

takes up too much time referencing backwards and forwards, bloOdy legal documents for you, there clearly not made to be very accesible

Thought so, but need to be clear about these things
