You can't issue a coded observation based on "It hasn't got what you usually see a lot of" though can you ?
yes i understand that . I just thought this was a requirement to have some sort of isolation point local to the heaters?

You can't issued a coded observation based on what you suspect may be required either.
thats why im on here andy to get some guidance and advice.
What code if any would you be inclinded to give a DB that isnt in a cupboard or within any barrier, ect.

13. Fire panel not wired from DB to fire panel in fire resistant wiring - code 2. This is not a BS 7671 Reg But is in the fire alarm regs BS 5839-1:2013 so I would give it a code 3
I came across one today that had me slightly stumped.
1mm T+E from socket on ring final, to feed some lighting via a 3A fuse in a SFCU.
It seems wrong to do this and I never would, but theres no way the cable from the socket to the SFCU can be overloaded as the 3A fuse obviously limits current flow in that cable.
Thoughts? Struggling to think of a reg this contravenes...
Hi guys,
just looking for some advice on a few common issues ive found when conduction a commercial EICR and how best code them. Any advice and help is much appreicated.
So hear are some the senarios
1. No fuse spur to heater (hard wired straight to MCB with correct size cable and MCB for heater)- Im thinking code 2?
2. No isolator/fuse spur to curtain heater (hard wired straight to MCB with correct size MCB and cable for curtain heater in question) - again code 2?
3. Missing lid that covers MCBs (not fuse board cover) Code 3?
4. Different manufacture MCBs in board. (e.g 12 way wylex board with 11 wylex MCBs and 1 hager MCB) code 3?
5. Cables not supported in their runs? code 2
6. Cables not supported above false ceiling and lying on metal frame work. code 2?
7. Emergency lights not wired correctly for testing - just info
8. Main service incomer in open with no cupboard or barrier - code 2 with recommendation of some sort of cupboard or barrier.
9. DB in open with no cupboard or barrier - code 2 with recommendation of some sort of cupboard or barrier added to cover DB.
10. No visable signs of supplementary bonding - If it looks like it could be covered in building fabric and able to obtain a very low resistance reading with a wander lead then - info with notes
11. Breakers such as 3871? code 3 recommend upgrade to 60898 breakers
12. Old board with 3871 breakers with half upgraded to 60898 breakers - code 2 with recommend the rest upgrade to 60898s.
13. Fire panel not wired from DB to fire panel in fire resistant wiring - code 2.
14. No main switch between incomer and DB or first DB - code 2 if commercial
15. RCD as main switch on DB - code 2 with recommendation of main switch added even if it means a board change a no spare ways
if anyone would like to add to this list it may be helpful for others including myself.
