I wonder if the government has taken on the role of designer under CDM in making this decision.
Given that the decision seems to have more to do with time and cost than the H&S of users / operators I suspect they would struggle for a viable defence! ------------------------- Regards Martyn. Only a mediocre person is always at their best www.electrical contractors uk.com |

I wonder if the the meter manufacturers have already committed to their designs and pleaded excessive costs if they now have to change their designs/tooling/moulds etc at the last minute.
The sensible way forward might be to specify that DP isolation needs to be provided - but leave it up to the market on how to achieve that - i.e. whether to select a meter with a built-in isolator or provide a separate REC2 or similar. There seems to be some hope in the "help stakeholders find an alternative solution" bit. - Andy. |
