Simlec Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 But Part P only covers... installations covered by Part P. And alarm systems are not covered by Part P. What makes you think alarm systems are not covered by building control? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simlec Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Indeed... But they are not wiring systems are they. + you don't normally install toys though the fabric of a building or to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datadiffusion Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Would you consider structured wiring to come under Part P then? Quote So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 As dd part p is normally out of scope, but 7671 isnt hence the recent requirement for fire proof fixing of cables in escape routes. Thats a 7671 req not a part p one. I doubt many will know or do anything different but those that do will. Im intrigued on PG's Spit system and have been looking into that, id prefer an air nailer but looks like he is way ahead and found the right thing.

Simlec Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Would you consider structured wiring to come under Part P then? Of course, if a door bell cable has to why should cat5 be any different. You also have to remember you have to comply to all parts of the building regs not just part P. There are large parts that only apply to new builds and extensions for example you can rewire a domestic building and not have to comply with part M on heights of switches and sockets unless requested.
