Hi just a quick one, I know some might say it’s pretty self explanatory but I want to get a few ideas.
What are the differences with the eicr codes and when would one be more suitable than the other.
I know c1 is immediate danger things like gaping hole in consumer units where you can reach the busbar, live terminal if socket busted open and you can touch it..
C2 is if it would be a danger if a fault occurred like no cpc to class 1 fittings
C3 recommended improvement like labels not on CU or no Rcd if install is older than when it was a reg
what about when it comes to LIM and N/V? Say for cables concealed in walls/ceilings or things you can’t see or access etc would you be more inclined to put LIM because you’re limited to access etc or N/V because it wasn’t able to be verified? I’m going to guess LIM because you verified some but limited to how much you could inspect? Do you note down for every single LIM code that you couldn’t access? Because I can see there being a lot of notes because of this
Also FI… this is only used when you have no access to the rest of that circuit which seems to be problematic right? Like if theres no end to end continuity on a ring and part of the ring is in a locked room
