Hello all, excuse my bad grammar spelling etc. today i had the people from building control around to sign of my cu change
at my house,here is my question. My mum had her oven changed a little while ago and it has a design current of around 10.5 amps, the old fuse protecting was a 40 amp wired in a 10mm t+e, i have since replaced this with a 16 amp breaker and put connecters at old cooker switch and a blank plate. I done this as section h of osg states you can do this and dont need a switch if the circuit breaker is to be used as one. The inspector told me this is not Good and my interpretation is wrong. And i need a local isolation switch. I want to know what others opinion was on this he also said the oven is not fixed equipment? If im wrong fine but how do i remedy the situation its a double box do i just put the old cooker switch back on. I did do a little search before posting but could not really find what i was looking for. Any advice greatly appreciated!
 
Well yes obviously you would be a fool not to follow the regs and like you say if you get dragged into court your goosed. And yes it wasn't really the most helpful of things, but it is a fact.


In itself maybe, but BS7671 is also part and parcel of other ''Statuatory'' Regulations so in effect you could say that in most cases BS7671 is statuatory by default of other regulations....
