Good Morning
we were asked to do COC for an installation built 1960s so there is no earth conductors only the steel conduit that serves as earthing system.
now we know SANS 10142-1 - steel conduit cannot be used as earth conductor although it must be earthed.
the conduit we tested, tested good wrt continuity and is overall in good condition.
i know there was a clause that stated if the installation is stock standard with no changes and was done prior 1995 it can be passed as safe to use.
i have been reading through the updated SANS 10142-1, DON'T KNOW IF IM JUST MISSING IT.
i need some help here please, can a COC be issued if earth wire isn't installed for this installation.
can the metal parts in PSO and light boxes be earthed from metal box with earth wire and obviously a sound connection using lugs and bolts or pop rivets.
it must be noted that i haven't been active with installation work and are getting back into things.
