Surely the longer it has been since the colour change the more the warning label is required as it is no longer fresh in people's minds.
Well surely it stands to reason that at the time of the change most Electricians would have been aware of it, but say in 20 or 30 years time many of the new breed will never have been come across red/yellow/blue and black cables.Really.........................................?
I simply don't agree.
only if they're wrong way round.Really.........................................?
I simply don't agree.
Next the IET will be getting us to code all red and black cables C3!

It's not as straightforward with a three-phase installation though where blue could be either L3 or neutral and black could be either L2 or neutral. It doesn't seem entirely unreasonable to warn people to verify what the conductors actually are.But if they are competent sparks the would check that the "odd" red cables are live (sic), and the black ones neutral.
