Can you implement 'out of reach' as a measure of protection?Now if I had a bathroom where I could touch an exposed 240V lamp I would C2 the fitting, yet these lights we can't decide on.
C3 if out of reach, C2 for low level.
I dunno, going to sleep on it.
What you would and wouldn't do is something you can't apply.No need to get too technical on this, ip44 would be a must for me. And if you relating back to the early 90s where they aresimilar to social housing back door lights etc, well times have changed.
If he doesn't say anything, the next spark will.
This is where regulations meet commen sense, if the fitting is lighting up the signs at first floor level (like most of them are) then fine, you need at least a ladder to reach them and therefore should know what your doing and at least wont be stood in a puddle of rain water.Can you implement 'out of reach' as a measure of protection?
What reason is there to Code them what is the danger.
Do you apply this to any exposed lamp holder which have an exclusion when it comes to exposed live parts.This is where regulations meet commen sense, if the fitting is lighting up the signs at first floor level (like most of them are) then fine, you need at least a ladder to reach them and therefore should know what your doing and at least wont be stood in a puddle of rain water.
The low level ones where a bored 12 year old could fiddle with and unscrew the lamp during a thunderstorm make me ponder the safety of it.
At which point I'm drifting into risk assessment rather them electrical testing.
Which I think I will do with this situation, rather then list it and code it I will detail it in the additional notes.
No, in a domestic setting little Timmy I see as the responsibility of its parents, in, say, a rental I may be more concerned about some wall lights.Do you apply this to any exposed lamp holder which have an exclusion when it comes to exposed live parts.
There is no difference Regulations don't state a location difference.No, in a domestic setting little Timmy I see as the responsibility of its parents, in, say, a rental I may be more concerned about some wall lights.
In a commercial personally I think we should plan for the severely daft, there are some real morons around and they will try to blame others for their stupidity, but once again its how to frame this in the regulations that we have to follow.
(I never should of done that course on risk assessment)
When I was young and a complete arse I spent a few hours re-arranging the coloured lights from the fairy lights at a coastal resort into colour groups instead of alternating colours, this was back in the 240V no RCD days, no thought for the risks involved, just being a complete Timmy, I was the sort of person that we have to protect from themselves.
