The Ghost

Hi just thought I'd throw this out here for a bit of light entertainment after the @Marvo thread (phew!)
So brother in law asked me to look at EICR which returned unsatisfactory. I have not looked at the installation to ascertain as to Class 1 or 2 fittings in the premises are installed. The bonding seems ok but is not verified on the water which is strange it got a tick. Or seen the DB so can't comment as yet. But there are a few things that are questionable like time for disconnection and C1 for no cpc. Also the box ticked there are no items adversely affecting electrical safety! Would be fascinating to know how he got the PFC considering Ze is .35 and PFC is 1.8Ka. Wondered what your thoughts are. Can't wait to have a look will post some piccys. Not to worry though he is NICEIC approved contractor

. He/They did not want to remove lamps to test L-N IR again odd.
 
The schedule indicates a 1.0 cpc but the IR and Zs readings are omitted or overwritten as N/A. So I assume the circuits predominantly do not have cpcs even though there is one at the CU?
Hopefully indicates cpc present and correct at CU but cut back at light point :)
