Is this the real bible eicr code breaker

[Toneyz]

The main problem is people believing there can be a definitive answer for everything. Each situation has its own code for a reason, it ultimately comes down to the opinion of the guy/girl on site. This is why, I believe, EICRs should only be completed by experienced electricians

I do not have this guide but I am sure that gives a reason and conclusion they have which can be used as a reference point.

Mmmm, not the Bible, check Koran, Book of Mormon, Bagvad Gita, etc for comparison.

Or just form your own conspiracy

When I had to renew my CSCS card and had to do the H&S test it was at the NICEIC Nr Dunstable I was looking for the stained glass windows and I'm sure that reception desk could double up as the alter.

only just got my copy today, seems a neat book, but the errors in the coding list is terrible!!! seems quite a few, 2 of which I specifically called technical about the other day, and was given differing answer on code compared to the book!

Let me guess, cables concealed in walls without rcd protection, C2 ?
Never a C2

 

[suffolkspark]

It wasnt that one, thats a c3 all day long...

I enquired about the blue and brown showing at downlights... Bloke said C3 as really it poses no potential danger because its in a floor void.... Book says C2

He also said C2 non fire rated downlights upstairs going into a loft, because a through draft could fan flames! but C3 for rest of house. I enquired about that one because of the "fire compartment" situation and if they are even required at all.... He said yes. Book says yes but differently..

There was also something else i ran by him about bonding that im not sure i agree with... Will start new thread

 

[Toneyz]

Have to agree on C3 for cables in walls just another layer of protection for the ill-informed drilling/nailing in a cable zone. Don't forget it is only a guide the person doing the report will have to take a professional judgement.

Can I have a copy too please, may learn something if you are sending copies out. Thanks in advance.

you have to buy it from napit £19.99 I think... I wouldn't worry, I just got mine free as part of buying the 18th, osg, and gn3 together

I just hope people don’t start quoting this book as gospel and use it as the be all and end all of eicr coding

Dragging up an old thread. Could be right there @Ian1981

There’s pictures all over social media, MFT, tools and a codebreaker book on the kitchen worktop, with the caption ‘EICR ready

Oh dear, I have the MFT and kitchen worktop, but no codebreaker book, "I am not worthy". apologies to Bill and Ted.
