    EICR - coding for a single CU

    Been doing a few bits at a house down my street. Guy had an EICR done a few months ago (not by me). He wanted the stuff picked up on this put right. Fair enough, I thought. So I had a look through the EICR. The installation is in generally good condition, but I have spotted a few things...

    Coding for EICR forms

    Hi all, I am trying to decide on coding for 2 items, and was interested in peoples input, as whether these are acceptable, or C1,C2 or C3. EICR form 4.3 - Condition of enclosures in terms of IP rating - 4.4 - Condition of enclosures in terms of fire rating - With both of the above the...

    EICR Coding Opinions please

    Ok, so here I am testing/inspecting some new floodlights installed at a local community facility. The installers, in their wisdom scarpered without leaving anything resembling a certificate so I'm doing a EICR on the 2 circuits in question. The "post" end of the circuits is shown here, there is...

    Review if Electrical Installation Condition Report coding used?

    non rcd sockets pir coding

    What would be the best code for sockets that are not rcd protected? No sockets are outside or near the doors so would it be a code 4? The supply is a tns with 10mm bonding to gas and water but no rcd protection to any circuits. Thanks

    Recognised methods of two way switch wiring /colour coding

    Following on from the thread on Two way and intermediate switching (and related conversations) I was wondering where the "recognition" of just one of the methods comes from how far it had spread. I've assumed preference stems from osg 7.4.4 as followed by Figure 7.3. No reference is...

    Quick couple of coding questions

    If you did a PIR for a 2391 exam and after testing found insulation resistance on a circuit to be 0.4M Ohms between line and earth on an outside light which code would you use? Would you use code 2, requires improvement or code 3 requires further investigation? I used code 3 and got the wrong...

    Opinions on coding for PIR.

    Just done a PIR today on a first floor flat. Just want a few opinions on codings for a couple of issues i noted. Firstly, none of the sockets have 30mA RCD protection. Being a first floor flat the sockets are very unlikely to be used to feed equipment outside so the requirements of the 16th...
