    eicr coding (bathroom)

    How would you code a bathroom with all insulated fittings , no supplementary bonding and not supplied by rcd . The old BPG4 seemed to suggest its not required to report ,but it no longer states this in the latest BPG4

    Disconnected CT's and EICR coding

    I'm having a bit of a brain fog moment (changing medication is such good fun!) and am looking for confirmation that I'm either right or talking nonsense. I've been to a job to have a look at why a set of ammeters aren't working, I've established the main reason they don't work is that someone...

    EICR FI faults holding up Satisfactory certificate.

    Just had an EICR, and the tester won't provide a satisfactory certificate until FI faults are corrected. These mainly consist of locating circuits that they didn't test. On the last EICR that took place at my site (17th edition) I recall the rectification of C1 and C2 faults being sufficient...

    EICR on an old church

    Straightforward EICR job coming up on my village church. Don’t think it’s ever had one before. Quick visual survey today to estimate my time, and instant thoughts are no RCDs anywhere, cables clipped surface here, there and everywhere and joint boxes hidden behind wood panelling. (I should know...

    AFDD EICR - unsatisfactory report landlord

    We are new landlords and have just got an EICR done. The building is only 5 years old so I am shocked that remedial work has been noted as necessary/mandatory. Apparently AFDDs needs to be fitted as the building is over 6 story’s high (it’s a 4th floor one bed flat) due to a regulation that came...

    Regarding carrying out an EICR on my own home.

    I was registered with the NICEIC until about 3 years ago as a competent person under BS7671, 17th edition. The EICR on my home expires shortly and I am capable of carrying out the appropriate testing and measurement but am I allowed to do it? As I am planning a cellar conversion, I will be...

    My EICR test guy says I need to change my bathroom ceiling light to an IP65 rated.

    My EICR test guy says I need to change my bathroom ceiling light to an IP65 rated. Research says I need an IP44. The lamp is about 2.45m above the floor and about 30cms outside the side of the bath. Has he made a mistake or have I?

    Failed EICR on concentric feed to DB

    Evening all, I found my first ever split concentric cable today. Running from an isolator up and into a flat. I was doing an EICR. I could not verify where the cable is within the fabric of the building. I failed the EICR on the grounds that the cable has no mechanical protection, no RCD...
