EICR Classification codes advice

[jdd]

Back on to the subject...
Everyone codes differently, this is very obvious from previous posts personally
a - 3 / 2
b - 2
b - nothing
d - nothing
e - 2
f - nothing

PS - Storage heaters are part of the installation.

I think that post was uncalled for tbh Howard.

I can understand it but do not condone it as it is becoming obvious that some "members" are in my view are winging and I realise this could be a discussion for another day but yes members can get frustrated when someone posts I have just bagged my C&G ???// *&^% so I bought myself a multitester but can someone tell me how to perform an IR test and its bad enough that schemies like NICEIC who I hold partually responsable for the demise of our trade as they seem to be more keen on bagging members and selling courses to assist the "You to can be an electrician in so many weeks" because we will sell you the courses get you registered and certified. Lets face it they dont want guys who have been in the trade for xx years because they cannot control them but at the same time some guys are getting frustrated.

You can understand that tone of post towards me?
Hope I've got the wrong end of the stick there and I'm not what you refer to as "some member"!

Going on the above I'd class a storage heater as fixed equipment (fixed to the wall, usually heavier than 18kg and connected via a FCU or DP switch, not a plug top), just like a shower, outside light fitting or a boiler, and not part of a regular PAT testing schedule. If the flex or casing was damaged then I'd issue a code (C1, C2 or C3) based on the severity of the defect whilst carrying out a PIR.
What in that is so wrong that it takes a reply filled with anger to get your point across?

The 3rd edition of ISITEE page 1 states "equipment whether permanently connected or connected with a plug and socket-outlet" should be tested.

Page 2 fig 1 clearly includes flex outlets connected to hand driers, air conditioners, compressors, etc, so storage heaters form part of ISITEE - by all means, read the code of practice and see if you interpret it the same way.

Good luck!

Apologies Gary if you thought I was having a pop at you but I meant the comment in general terms as if it was aimed at you I would have named you

No worries, just wondering. In any case, life's too short for totally pointless internet arguments.

what codes would people give for bonding not one continuous piece for gas and water?
and would anyone code a bonding cable that was clipped to the outside of a house as it wasnt protected and could be cut or removed.
all advice appreciated

No code for either.

Ok why is that if you dont mind me asking because when I had my nic assessment that was one of things he looked at to see if the bonding was one continuous piece

There is no regulation that stipulates bonding has to be one continuous cable. Good practice yes, regulation no.

GN8 "recommends" the bonding cable remain continuous (page 53). Just a common sense thing to prevent losing the connection downstream if a plumber removes the cable when moving a pipe.
