Compliance of electrical wiring in ceiling space

[AndyD]

The only thing I can see that's not compliant is the proximity of the conduit box to the lamp in the downlight but if it's LED even that isn't an issue. Maybe lack of strain relief for the connection in the conduit box but as already stated whilst it's an untidy installation it's not illegal.

If there is a gland on the underside of the conduit box that provides adequate strain relief for the connections within the conduit box then I would say its compliant.
If there is no gland however I would fail it.

Something else is that there is more than one cable in some of the glands. I read a long time ago in the regs, and now I cannot find it, that each piece of equipment must be utilised as It was originally intended. I am sure that this means there should only be one cable per gland

You could go one stage further and fail glands with a stuffing rubber that has a round hole when there's a flat twin cable going through it because officially you should use one of these with an oval shaped hole;



I see where you're coming from but I'm not usually quite that pedantic to be honest, if there's a gland or an alternative entry system and it's maintaining the IP level and providing reasonable strain relief I wouldn't fail it.
