    Type AC RCD's and EICR's

The Am2 version of code breakers suggests a C2 coding for: "....type AC RCD and has pulsating DC currents from connected equipment such as...

    A long time since I've used this forum. My question is.....With the release of amendment 2 on 28th March '22, would an EICR on a purpose built student accommodation or HMO fail the EICR due to it not having AFDD's on the circuits feeding socket outlets if they are tested between 28th March '22...

    Landlord EICR's

    Estate agent ordered EICR's

    Hi chaps, Now I tend to avoid periodics/eicr's as much as possible, as I'm a bit finicky and they take me pretty much a full day of work. However, I do the occasional one for a friend or family if needed. Just doing one at the minute for a house that's just been sold, which was previously rented...

    EICR's and previous editions of Regs

    Reading the recent post about the barber shop and no RCDs I was wondering, If an installation was satisfactory under a previous edition of Regs. And if no alterations have been made to it, or no other problems are evident, since installation, is it still satisfactory and therefore can't be...

    Should EICR's be restricted to those qualified

    Just read a post about a poor EICR and given the amount of reckless plastic sparks out there running around doing poor EICR's and ultimately putting people at risk I do think its time they are restricted. The cowboys do not have a clue what they are doing or inspecting and only want the quick...

Question is, if this was an EICR what would you code it as and why? My take on this is that 15mA is still...
