Regulation 526-04-01 refers to accessability of junction blocks

An NICEIC recommendation says
"However, connections required by regulation 526-04-01 to be sccessible
should NOT generally be located under a floor where a carpet is likely
to be laid. A fitted carpet can effectivley render connections beneath
the floor inaccessible because of objections from the occupier to the
carpet being lifted, or difficulties in finding the access trap."

But it does seem to be a widely ignored reccomendation.


Ignored yes, I cannot see how to wire a light which doesn't have its own
rose without it being concealed?

For sockets does this mean that if I used some big chocolate block at the
back of the socket box and ran an additional star-wired cable down the
conduit that would be OK?
For a double 13A socket I assume 1.5mm cable would be fine?

Thanks
