    Condition of enclosures in terms of fire rating

    The regulations are not retrospective. Therefore if it complied with a previous edition of the regulations, and is not unsafe for continued use it is not coded. This is why an in depth understanding of previous editions of the regulations is essential for anyone carrying out EICR's.

    PIR coding

    I would assume the live parts would be in some sort of connector and not likely to be able to be touched so not a shock hazard. So I would give it a 3 at the very most, and probably not code it at all. As above could you not put a disk of some sort of material over it?

    Leesparkykent If I divert the phone I will get all my wife's calls as well as mine. When you call us you get a message via the PBX saying dial 1 for my wife or 2 for me.

    The message already says leave your name and number and I will get back to you. I was thinking maybe just put my mobile number on instead. The voicemail thing doesn't work. Maybe because we have a PBX, as my wife runs her business from home as well.

    People who don't leave details.

    The problem is a lot of them don't call back. How many potential jobs do you then lose because they tell friends and neighbors etc that you've not got back to them. I'm not going to worry about it, It's just I seem to have had a lot of them just recently.

    PIR 40 circuits a day is it possible ?

    EICR's are going the same way as PAT. As long as they have a piece of paper with pass on its ok. Had a guy phone me the other day wanting some done on all his rental property's. Wasn't too pleased when I quoted him my rate per circuit. Said someone else had quoted £50 per property.

    Private rented accommodation, Scotland

    You could argue that the stair and front door is the escape route. And that if there was a fire down stairs, by the time the smoke has reached the upper landing detector, the stairs could be impassable.
