Another 'which code for EICR'..

[HappyHippyDad]

It looks like the 10mm loops at 'random pipe' and perhaps continues to disconnected gas clamp. Was thinking C3 for JB until I realised it's under the units!

That may be the case, but somehwere along the line it may be connected to the water as well (as only one main bond in MET), but I cant be certain of that. I will code the disconnected gas bonding as a C2 and I think the 'unfound' water bonding as 'further investigation', as it may or may not be connected to the MET by a 10mm.

Thanks for the replies guys, I'm glad I was pretty much on the right lines.

No I dont, I only do around 1 every couple of months. If I start doing more I would look at a software package to speed things up as I do take a while getting all the paperwork together.

Do you do all your certs by hand? I too, only do the odd EICR but the time saving are from all the EIC's and MWC's

Yes, all by hand Murdoch.. It does take a while! What is the name of the software package you use?

Gosh.. I'm going to be all technologically advanced soon! Tazz is (very kindly) helping me with using excel for quoting and now the computer to fill out certs too!

I use PIRform

PM me an email address and I'll send you some samples FYI

What would you guys do about the Main boding for the water then?

I had decided on 'further investigation', but if the incoming pipe is plastic does it need to have a main bond? I have tested the copper immediately after the plastic and somewhere along the line it is connected to the MET (approx 0.5Ω).

If the incomer was metal I would say I have to search more for the 10mm or run a new 10mm but it is plastic?

HHD ... there used to be an editable PDF for EICRs on this forum somewhere. I have used it a few times and it's quite good.

If the incomer is plastic and the rest of the installation is metal but does not go underground or get buried in walls then it is likely not extraneous, however if they have a boiler then the electrical earth connection to the boiler will almost certainly earth the water pipes and give you the low resistance reading.

At least who ever installed the JB's went to the effort of securing the wiring down with sticky pads and cable ties, a lot of sparks don't give a damn, shame he unnecessary snapped of the bottom part of the JB, although if the JB is fixed to the unit it would be a tough call if C2 or C3.
