PIR problem

[MICKYSPARKY]

got to do a PIR on a domestic installation, had a quick look to give me an idea what i was letting myself in for.looked at lighting circuit dropped a ceiling rose down, two wires live and neutral no earth, metal switch faces metal light fittings. can't see anything in REGs. does it require a warning notice for not having an adequate earth. and what about the testing.

sorry chaps for having a gripe, friday yhe 13th and all that

It wants all metal fittings changing for class 2 ie plastic

Class 2 fittings

 

[telectrix]

class I fittings with no cpc is a code 2 at best.

Code 2 defect for metal assessories on a lighting circuit with no cpc. - it needs to be changed to plastic fittings to comply.
Will probably also mean a LIM on the ELI readings on the cert.

That's a film, isn't it?

Surely, its got nothing to do with electrics?

Electricity as dangerous on Friday the 14th, lol !!!!

cant believe Tel beat me again lol.

Any code 1 or code 2 are a fail unsatisfactory just put it on your test sheets

 

[telectrix]

well, if you took time off scheming how to catch the roadrunner, you'd be in front.

If I sound critical it's not personal but the whole tone of your post sounds like you are out of your depth to do a PIR, that's not a bad thing being out of your depth as long as you know it and don't take the job on, do have quals/and /or experience of inspection and testing ?

I concur.

but a warning label on the CU, "no earth on the downstairs lighting circuit."

 

[Farmelectrics]

Your right Moses warning label aswell
