Discuss Burnt out ballast EICR Coding in the Periodic Inspection Reporting & Certification area at ElectriciansForums.net

We never quote Reg Nos as they mean nothing to a large percentage of people. Anyone who decides not to include an item of potentially dangerous equipment in the Report should not be carrying out EICRs as they themselves are potentially dangerous.
 
The report is carried out to ensure the installation complies with BS7671 though, do you also note other defects on site such as items not being in date on PAT?
 
That is a ridiculous scenario.
Why is it? Where do you draw the line at what put on your report? As after all a out of date PAT could lead to a similar consequence? Wjat about light fittings that come pre wired, do we also have to strip them down too to ensure everything imternally is fine?
 
Do you not check for cpc at metalic fittings in little old dorris's lounge? Or is that outside of the electrical installation?

If you come accross an extract fan with a toasy pcb and melted internals in a bathroom do you ignore it?

Luminaires are CLEARLY equipment and form part of the installation as defined in the regs and should be inspected.

And whilst the aim of this forum is to factually assist and help each other, we can also voice our opinions, as i have done, and i stand by.

Are we talking in the scenario of carrying out a EICR?
 
All eicrs, dont get why you had to pm me, you voiced a rediculous statement that they do not form part of the installation and i called you a "fill in the blank" because of it, if i made an equally rediculous statement i would expect to be called out for it aswell.

Yes EICR see the original posts. Regs have been quoted to cover the situation. And even your own photo has shown equipment (like a light fitting) make up part of the installation.
621.2 iii

Installation deteriorated to impair safety

If I was a paying customer I would expect something to be flagged up for that. Code or not.
