As I said earlier, these are in the remit if the inspection.It is out of the remit of testing but is it out of the remit of inspection?

So you code things are not under the remit of BS7671?How anyone can no code a potential fire hazard caused by a light fitting is beyond me.

Regulation 642.2 (iii)
The inspection shall be made to verify that the installed Electrical equipment is:
Not visibly damaged or defective so as to impair safety.
This is from the 18th edition so naturally it’s predecessor may be different but I do not have the 17th available at the moment to compare.
Now admittedly this forms part of the initial verification process but I’d be prepared to use the same regulation method for periodic inspection
Also see 651.2 regarding periodic inspection and testing note (ii) in particular
It’s almost the same(tongue in cheek) as a burnt out pin on a socket but ignoring it on the grounds that it’s not fixed wiring.I was going to look for a specific Reg tomorrow but I had absolutely no doubt that a Reg would be there to cover this.
How can anyone even think it is ok to no code this is beyond me.

Maybe lights should come under pat testing if we don’t inspect and code on an EICR
No I have already pointed put what remit they come under in the regs.Are you suggesting light fittings do not fall under BS7671?
It is worded differently in both book.Regulation 642.2 (iii)
