Now the cat sadly is no more(R.I.P),but on resetting the circuit breaker all is dead........a quick look in the circuit box and i find a large battery cell which i...

Hey can anyone recommend the best place or guide to use for coding things on the reports, i know its up to me to identify the problems bur as to what i classify things as can be awkward i feel, with not as much experiance in this a guide would be good!

Am I correct in saying that a 6a, type 2 MCB is BS 3871, and can anyone tell me where I'd get a definitive list of BS Codes respective to there 'type'.
This stuff drives me nuts!:mad2:
Thanks.
Your input please, normally I just make a list of faults and a bright young office thing types up the report and allocates the codes (I think i'm deemed too old and the bright young thing has a degree and the latest version of the test and inspect and a winning way with people and a higher...
I have recently installed a frieland response wireless alarm, iv got it up and working but not exactly how the customer would like, it's the first one iv done, basically iv set the house code on all the accessories as in pir sensors, door magnets n siren, but iv set different zone codes because...

Hey guys , i got my 2391 inspection and testing exam coming up and Ip codes are coming up alot in the past papers, is there an easy way of remembering them ? cheers.
Just been to an inspection today, as with many of them its suffering from a bit of DIY, bathroom downlights are above 225, so are out of zones, but are not IP rated, so I will probably give them a C3 ? They are double insulated but the earths have been nicely snipped out so are discontinuous &...
Been doing an EICR today and would value some opinions please:
The socket is well under 3m from the sink (yes I realise its not a bath or shower) so is this a code at all? Its actually a spur from a double which is in the cupboard so I could simply remove it.
The right edge of the socket...
I few scenarios for which I'd be interested in views what codes to apply......
1) Main bonding is jointed with a choc block in an inaccessible place.
I was going to go with a C3 but not so sure....
2) Main bonding is not continuous from the water to gas. (i.e. one cable to water, separate...
Greetings.
Just done a PIR using the new EICR form, and had a few questions regarding the inspection.
The main bonding is in 4mm and the main earth is in 10mm. Is this a code C2 or C3? There was a thread for recommendations for PIR's on here which is pretty good, so I am going to stick to...
Hi,
i did a pir on an old cottage on tuesday. the lady is going to rent it out, so it the installation needs to be bang on. i did all my inspection and wrote down what i could see was wrong and needed correcting. then i carried out the testing and recorded all of my results on eic just for the...
I cant get my head around the new coding as far as C3 is concerned, if an item eg csa of bonding is compliant with say the 16th but not the 17th do I use C3 and comment complies with prevoius edition and is not urgent, any thoughts please
Hi,
I have just buying a house that has a Ademco alarm. The box is under the stairs (plastic square box with Ademco moulded in) below is a separate keypad, with keys on the right, and leds on the left (zone1, zone2 etc up to 8)
