Code 1 Really!!!!

[Redvanman]

Completed an EICR last week on a flat that is roughly 20 years old, wired to the 16th.

It had been tested last in 2007 and had been given a code 1 for no supplementary bonding in the bathroom.

Slightly harsh to say the least but after investigation I found that all the pipes were plastic.

Also a code 2 was given for the SWA sub-main cable not clipped above the board (400mm in length).

But the termination was not even noted. See picture.

Overall a unsatisfactory was given yet I could for the life of me see why.

Ps I gave it a unsatisfactory cos some one had change a mirror light to a shaver socket and not connected the earth. (C2)

Pretty ****e workmanship. I would wonder if the armour was sufficient to be used as the earthing for that sub board also?

That is so rough!! The fact the installer must have looked and thought "oh,that is not IP4X, where is my silicone.....". I could not bear to leave that even on an EICR, just 15 mins, an adaptable box (it would need one now!) and a gland.

Whoever did this should be put up against a wall and buggered by King Dong

My Sherlock skills suggest that it's 3 core because the two cores in the main isolator are red and blue, 2 core would of been supplied red/black

You saved me saying the same thing.

And is that a door bell transformer hiding on the right hand side?

With potentially a twin secondary cable potentially not 230v rated snaking through the C.U?

Must be an upgrade,usually its a jubilee clip earthing the armour.

Even the Jubilee clip would be an upgrade on some of the shyte I have come across if they have bothered to Earth the armourings at all that is , I have seen the armourings just twisted together and forced into 1 or more terminals in the MET inside the CU, sometimes a haircut lol with only the few remaining strands just shoved into 1 terminal hole.
