Legal question Discussion ThreadLegal question Electrical Advice
I know for example the requirements of Part P, and new work
A question … if somone installs an item that is plainly in contravention of Electrical safety, do they actually break any law.
The question relates to a house owner and own work - not work for others.
I give an example, I have seen a Hot tub installation where electrical sockets are closer than the 2m requirement, and also a television plugged into one of the sockets and sited well within the 2m zone.
It’s dangerous - yes, but is it illegal, and if so what law is broken.
