Stroma Certification Scheme SPD calculation / Stroma annual assessment

[PJH2903]

I've got my annual Stroma assessment next week and the job I am taking them to is a board change. I have not fitted an SPD as by my calculations it was not a requirement (plus a tight customer would not want the extra cost)

I don't think it will be a problem but am just looking for reassurance that my calculations are correct in case my assessor questions me on them.

shouldnt be a problem, as long as you are up on your testing and paper work,
i was with stroma i thoiught they were quite relaxed compaired to niceic which i am with now. good luck hope all goes well

Hi - calc might need a look at, as you have Lpal = 1km but Lp = 2Lpal +0 +0 +0 . Just my thought.

My concern with the regs here is the almost pass/fail on urban vs suburban/rural. I reckon I can tell rural ok, but when does urban become suburban I wonder? Anyway, I found this post code checker but it’s only got rural or urban. It might help a bit if Mr Inspector wants to argue your decision.

Thanks, that could be a useful link for the future. Should be fine for my assessment as the postcode is listed as

Rural or Urban Area?	Urban major conurbation

on the site.

Hi - just edited my post. I thought you might have Lpal which is x2, but if you’ve got all underground Lpcl you’re fine.

Hi - just edited my post. I may be wrong .

I know Lp = 2 Lpal + Lpcl + 0.4 Lpah + 0.2 Lpch (Km) but I do not know all the appropriate figures (who does) so I used the max of 1 Km.

I wonder what the DNO response would be if you rang them up to ask for the figures. Might do it then follow up with a FOI request just for the hell of it.

Just put on ENWL Facebook page. Shall I start taking bets on the response I get?

Why would you put in a spud in a urban area you could understand in you live in a Forrest with tt system .by reading the regs the map shows common areas that might get affected.

I've not put one in. Just covering myself if my Stroma assessor decides to be awkward next week and asks why I did not put one in, I can then prove on the calcs that it was not required. (I know I am probably over thinking it )

tell him you would only put one in if you deed it wright in the begining.

Had a response from ENWL. About figures for Lp calculation.

SPDs not required in a single dwelling.....recommendation only....client says yes or no

Agree, but need to do the calculation to know whether to recommend or not. And as this is for my annual assessment I am just crossing the T's and dotting the I's in case my assessor is having a bad day and decides to be awkward.
