Well let us hope that all 'inspectors' aren't this clueless then.

AIUI the installation of a complete new spur is a 'small modification'
under the new rules and as such does not need certification, so
changing a face plate most certainly doesn't.

However, (and yes I know this record is worn out), it is this
'loophole' that will make the incident of wrong installations more
likely with the new rules as now unknowledgeable people will
install spurs for themselves because the cost of having a
'professional' do the work will be unaffordable due to the costs
of the new regs

I rather suspect thsat unknoweldgable people won't even know that
there are any new rules so will proceed as before.


But it's been reported in the newspaper!
