EICR codes

[SSE]

Thoughts on the following; no main bond to gas mains (C1), spur spurred of a spur on a ring (C2) & numerous inaccessible sockets for kitchen appliances under worktop with no switched spurs above worktop for isolating sockets (C3). Been a while since I've done an EICR! Thanks in advance.

no sorry for confusion i didnt mean that the bonding was a code 1 obviously that is only a code 2 , i was just commenting that there are only 3 situations where you use code 1

Nice - fully understand.

Shame the cowboy sparks aren't so diligent..

Then again, NICEIC registered electricians should follow the NICEIC guidelines.

Coding is personal opinion, whilst some situations will warrant a specific Coding in most people's eyes it is not for the NICEIC to band about what should be this, that or the other because situations can be variable.

i would agree with code 2 and 3 but not with code 1 he is correct in what he is saying i just wish i could remember the third ...

Finding a connection burning would get a code 1 , But then i wou,d make it safe at the time of the inspection as i would with any code 1, so now i have made it safe is it a code 1 any more ???

yes you are obligated to rectify and code 1 on site which then will not stay as code 1 but i would put on report code 1 rectified in order to be able to charge additional .

Hum.... its not always possible, so common sense needs to be applied.

The NICEIC bod says there are only three situations which require Code 1 entries, do you not think this is a narrow and arrogant opinion.

your getting run away with the word situations , maybe categories would be better but hearing all three i couldn't disagree and you obviously have a problem with the niceic - did they not pass you ?

Not sure it was good enough to say it twice, let alone three times?

Not passed me for what, I have chewed the cud with these people for years in supervisory roles whether NICEIC, ECA or whoever and to be honest I like a debate with them but do they alter my views, no. Do they give me black marks, no.
