Scenario: Visibly burnt out, entirely blackened, ballast in a fluorescent fitting. Would this be noteworthy during an EICR and if so, how would it be coded? My thinking is that its an obvious fire risk.

Still an apprentice with millions to learn, any input would be appreciated.
 
Does the fitting comply with
416.2
Section 421
621.2(ii)
512.2
559.5.1
526.1

The internal section of the fitting is not part of the fixed wiring so unless any of the above are not complied with then its no code from me.
 
the fitting itself is outside your remit of testing to BS7671. as pp says. disconnect and no code. just tell customer if he wants to see where he's going , to replace fitting.

Read the definition below it?? An electrical installation is an assembly of electrical equipment. The lights clearly form part of the installation.

And which Reg number backs up the code? The regs only apply to the final connections carried out on site, cable entry in to the enclosure and the suitability of the enclosure.
