Words from the Inspectors Mouth about Wago!

[malcolmsanford]

As far as I'm concerned with WAGO's etc they may be maintenance free according to the manufacterer, but as far as regulation 526.3 is concerend they still need to be accessible for inspection and testing as they do not, as yet conform as part of the exceptions.

I know a lot is said about regulation 120.4 and new inventions, but it will be interesting to see if the new BS 7671-2011 will recognise them as being regarded as non accessible ................
