    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

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...

    EICR - C2 for low voltage cable

    Hi, I have just had an EICR carried out and it has comeback with a few C2s. The only one I disagree with is the electrician raised as a C2 the fact that under the kitchen cabinets there are some LED strips with exposed single insulated cables. All these exposed cables are low voltage (24v)...

    Amending EICR report from unsatisfactory to satisfactory

    So I've recently had an EICR for my building. Came back with about 20 odd C2 remedials and a few F1's which resulted in UNSATISFACTORY being written on the report which you'd expect. Completed all the remedials and the QS has come back and passed them all off, but will not put SATISFACTORY on...

    Excluding 4mm circuits on EICR, dodgy certs?

    4mm T&E circuits on 32amp breaker. Parts of the circuit run through ceiling, parts through trunking and possibly even the wall. Current carrying capacity won't exceed 30amp. Customer adamant they are fine because previous electricians have said they are fine. What do you do? Tell him tough...
