    Smart switch installation

    I would advise returning to the seller and get a unit the doesn't require a neutral or a capacitor adding to the the circuit. Have they made any mention of capacitor rating etc?

    Earth bonding for EV Charging point

    The regulations changed a while ago and if the incoming services are plastic and do not introduce an earth potential they do not require bonding. Simplest way would be to employ a local electrician to carry out some basic testing to confirm whether or not bonding is required. TBH the charger...

    Rcd tripping with no switch on after smart meter installarion

    Yup, they use Multi-network SIM cards so are not restricted to one mobile provider. 2G is still the best technology for this type of use as it easily penetrated structures and has a good range, but still can suffer from poor reception in some areas.

    Rcd tripping with no switch on after smart meter installarion

    The smart meter uses the mobile network to contact the supplier for monitoring etc, in poor reception areas this software jacks up the transmit power to try and get a better signal, this in turn can have a negative effect on RCDs. One option is for the supplier to fit an external antenna which...

    the NIC used to do a specific test sheet for portable units like this but they did away with it, I'll see if I have a copy anywhere. Edit: I've found a copy online you might want to take a look at.

    Contactum CU

    Why would it 'fail' and EICR? I would only code that a C3 which would still attract a satisfactory report. If a special location is fed from part of the circuit then I would look at the existing lighting within the location and check that supplementary bonding is in place, if all is good then no C2.

    No RCD !! C2 or C3

    Potential use of outdoors equipment is a C2. TBH no point chucking codes at it until you've inspected the installation.

    UK Lighting a Tennis Court

    Double check the manufacturers instructions regarding the type of protective device required, you may require a C type to allow for in rush currents of the LED driver. This will have a knock on effect regarding the impedance of the circuit.
