Hi,
r
conduit and DIN: just because something is stated in some DIN does not mean that anyone has to comply with it. unless, of course, you have agreed that this DIN is contractually binding.
This is now somewhat off topic, but:
The DIN standards indeed have no binding legal character. However, they are considered the general state of the art and specify how a product should look according to expert opinion.
In other words, if a craftsman/manufacturer/whatever complies with the DIN, he is safe regarding liability and defects. If he does not comply, he must prove that his method was technically sound and not responsible for any defects.
In other words, he may deviate, but then he must take responsibility for it.
In the case of LAN cables under plaster, it will be difficult to prove that the installation is error-free. On the one hand, because replacing the cables is no longer possible (which, however, is absolutely common with LAN cables due to technological progress), and much more because LAN cables must not be pinched. And if the cables were nicely fastened with these "wires under plaster nails," they are pinched!
Long story short, with LAN cables under plaster you certainly do not have a correct, fault-free installation!
But now the OP must first say exactly what was agreed and above all: Are the cables now in conduits or under plaster?
Best regards,
Andreas
