Wife Code for black pvc with separate earth run to socket?

[Rockomuir]

Morning all,

I have been to look at a job this morning to rewire a radial feed supplying two socket outlets off a 20 mcb. The cable from the board is a black pvc 2 core cable(does not look like copper) and has a separate earth run back to the met.
I am currently doing my 2392 and hope to start doing eicr when I have finished this course. I was wondering what code you would give for this? Assuming that r1/r2 , I/r were okay. Would it be c3 improvement recommended

thanks

Defo c3, c2 if you ain't happy with c3

Are you sure it's pvc.

Two core black was commonly trs, or latterly polythene, both using the old colour scheme, in imperial sizes and tinned copper.

No cpc would put it pre 70's
Polythene would be pre 70's
TRS would be pre 60's

If the outer is dull black likely to be TRS, if shiny/waxy - polythene.

There is no requirement that the cpc be integral to the cable, so no code, however given the age and potential condition of the cable itself this may be anything from C1 to C3 as TRS can flake off exposing the live conductors.

It would be the cable condition that would concern me.

(And potentially the age of the installation, - it needs a good coat of looking at)

Is this the cable that you will be rewiring?
Are you just wanting to code out of interest?

What size is the earth cable going back to the MET

Can't possibly give a wife code without pictures.

C3 - improvement recommended

closely followed by C1- immediately dangerous if she reads this!

FI is the only wife code applicable, not too much trouble there

.....especially in black PVC!!!

I'm another one curious about the size of the earth cable.
