    EICR's for Amendment 2

    That's kind of my question....which format should I be using? I use Napit Fastest so I've got the option of both amendments.

    EICR's for Amendment 2

    A long time since I've used this forum. My question is.....With the release of amendment 2 on 28th March '22, would an EICR on a purpose built student accommodation or HMO fail the EICR due to it not having AFDD's on the circuits feeding socket outlets if they are tested between 28th March '22...

    EICR earthing question

    But surely if the earth to the DB was disconnected along with the gas bond, then that would disconnect the CPC's to boiler and cooker circuits? That's what I did and still had a very low ohm reading between the water pipe from the main earth block of around 0.04 ohms. That tells me the water...

    EICR earthing question

    In answer to your question, yes tests were done with gas bond removed. I even temporary removed earth to DB to hopefully eliminate any other possible paths (boiler supply etc) and still had good readings on water. I'm a bit wary of giving a C3 as if the gas bond was removed for some reason...

    EICR earthing question

    Hi guys, This has probably been asked many times before but just want to know others opinions. Just done an EICR and have found (or not found) any sign of a water bond near stopcock or anywhere in house. There is an earthing block at the meter position with main earth from PME, an earth to DB...

    TN-S earthing issue

    The landlord has asked me to put right whatever it needs for a satisfactory cert so new DB goes without saying. New earthing from main earth block to DB as its currently less than 6mm. As I've gone this far, it makes sense to upgrade gas and water bonds as they are within same cupboard/area and...

    TN-S earthing issue

    OK big thanks guys. Makes sense to be imperial size due to age. It just looked smaller than standard new 6mm earth but sometimes hard to tell. So my best bet is to leave alone. Leave earth block in place and just upgrade gas + water bonds and new earth to a new DB from the existing earth block...

    TN-S earthing issue

    I have just carried out an EICR at an old property and found this issue with the main earthing conductor. It has a TN-S system but the earthing conductor emerging from within the taped up tar coating just before the cut out is only 4mm2 of (what looks like) steel wire armourings. It is 100mm...

    Landlord consumer unit

    If your electrician has "failed" the installation based on the reason your consumer unit is not split load then you should find yourself another sparkie! A genuine inspector would have just given a recommendation for this issue. Obviously I can't comment on other issues on the report as you have...

    Landlord consumer unit

    Sounds like the electrician is trying to get more work out of you! Although any new builds or consumer unit replacements should be split load or ideally individual RCBO's, that doesn't mean to say yours needs replacing. It complied at the time it was installed and all circuits are RCD protected...

    Floor sockets + Building Regs

    Thanks all! I agree with all comments posted. So basically the general answer is......bugger this reg as its not practical in some cases!!?? Seems kinda pointless having it eh?

    Floor sockets + Building Regs

    I agree, but then are we saying you can't use floor sockets on a new build?

    Floor sockets + Building Regs

    I am 1st fixing an extension and in one area there is no wall space (glass walls like a sun lounge) for any sockets although customer insists he wants a power point in the corner. I suggested a floor socket as the floor is due to be insulated and screeded. The customer sounded happy with that...
