    Off-peak consumer for storage heaters EICR

    Off-peak consumer board supplying storage heaters has no RCD protection. Does this require upgrading to comply with latest landlord regulations.

    Cottage supplied by 16mm SWA 300+ yards! Trying to resolve a high Ze reading

    Hi, while carrying out an EICR at a farm cottage on Friday i came up against a problem early on. Whilst measuring the Ze the reading i obtained was 0.97 Ohms and 27Amps Pfc. Now the earthing system itself is quite strange. Next to the consumer unit is an old service head holding a 60A BS 88...

    EICR code re conduit

    Have been asked to do remedials on an EICR that was carried out a year or so ago by another electrician. Curious to know what code you would give for the following. The system used to be conduit & singles but was rewired in twin at some point. By the looks of it the conduits were cut at top &...

    Eicr recommended next test date 3 years due to plastic CU?

    Hello, I had an eicr done in 2021and it passed with four C3 items. They recommend next test date to be in 3 years instead of 5 on the certificate but did not specify a reason. I emailed them to ask and they said it was because consumer unit's enclosure is not fire-rated, there are also some...

    EICR Test Unsat-Thoughts?

    Good day. First time poster. We recently had an electrician perform the EICR, as this is a newly purchased property I thought'd I would have the circuits checked. Prior to this I inspected as much of the ciruits as possible and checked the sockets, lights for possible issues, it all looked...

    EICR - Extent of Sampling

    Had an enquiry where the installation (commercial) is relatively new and client has requested a condition report. Probably 80-100 circuits plus distribution circuits etc in total. Client has suggested to me (not sure where it came from, another sparks possibly?) and probably driven by overall...

    Visual EICR for agents...

    Hi everyone Sorry if it's a repeated question tho. Agents followed me a failed visual EICR which has C2 for lack of RCD on cooker circuit and lighting circuit containing bathroom and been advised by other spark to replace CU. CU is approx 20 years old. For me it would be C3 with a note...

    EICR - Applying regs retrospectively

    Just had an EICR done and C2 (dangerous) applied to 3-way consumer unit which is exclusively for 3 x Storage Heaters. Pic below. Yes its plastic, and fused BUT compliant with the regs at the time it was installed and is not in dangerous condition. Should be a C3 as recommended to replace with...

    EICR Plastic Consumer Unit

    Hi all, Been asked to do EICR on thatched property for insurance purposes, however they will want all C3 codes rectified. Haven't seen it yet but have been told it was rewired in 2012 so i assume its a plastic CU. If its in a suitable place then bpg4 suggests this would not need recording on...

    Thoughts on an EICR on this board prior to physical testing.

    Opinions on this Crabtree TP 10 way board? Got to test this next week after a quick recce on a clients site yesterday. Although probably electrically safe the RCCB is feeding everything including another board Fed via an SWA and some external services also in armoured to. Thing that bothers me...

    satisfactory unsatisfactory

    Hi Guys. If carrying out an EICR you are unable to find a UFH circuits spur, is the EICR still passable under some type of limitation? Or is there a code involved. Thank you! Smarky

    EICR Inspection Issue

    I trained as a electrician in the 70s but have long since retired. Just had an EICR test done on my property in advance of selling. I have a 60s Bungalow that originally had wire fuses. I replaced them with MCBs 10 years ago. Assessor gave me a C3, is that reasonable? I got a C3 on the Lighting...

    NAPIT EICR forms - observations for SPD and RCD

    I've just started using the NAPIT forms for EIC's and EICR's and they are a bit cumbersome to be fair. Does anyone know which observation is for a lack of an SPD and when the RCD's are type A/C. I know they are a C3 but you need to find it in the bit where you tick "pass all" and it then...

    High Ze reading fails EICR

    Hello there. I've been looking around here and found some conflicting information. I have a question if I may ask. I had an electrician come over to perform an EICR, and all the installations were in good nic. However, he said that the Ze measurement was 14.5 Ohms on a TNS system, so he refused...
