R2 testing necessary for an eicr certificate.

[Abu]

Is it necessary to do the r2 test if you have done r1+ r2 test for an eicr certificate

 

[Abu]

You also have the main switch in the on position while the lid is removed with live exposed bus bar just waiting to be touched.Also no bushing around the incoming wires at the back of the consumer unit.

I removed the busbar cover. As i was doing some testing

 

[Bob Geldoff1234]

Yes this saturday. Will fix all the issues prior to taking him there

They work on Saturday's now?

Cheers dude. All the original cast heads round my way are resin/bitumen filled and sealed, with separate fuse carrier after the head. Hardly ever see fuses behind doors apart from the occasional pressed metal units.

Henley also made the separate fuse carriers, but they all had sealed hinged lids over them.

 

[Abu]

I think somebody has had a visit from the seal fairy!

Hahaha i think so

 

[Gavin John Hyde]

Hahaha i think so

Not so funny when you kill yourself or some jobsworth at the DNO decides to chase you for a nice fine! I wont pull any of them old ones after i saw a Western Power Video of the state of some of them, even the DNO wont touch some of the ones around here they would rather cut the wire outside in the name of health and safety rather than suit up like a wannabe spaceman. the newer ones are a bit better if there is no load but always a bit of a gamble. just be careful.

If you are going to take an assessor to site at least make sure it looks neat, an untidy job is going to leave you open to awkward questions and from your two threads I suspect this is not what you want. Fundamental things like no notice at the earth terminal are schoolboy errors and you are leaving yourself wide open. Knowing an EIC from an EICR would be useful.

Did it really warrant having two dbs? Doesn't look like there are that many circuits in either from the pictures

 

[buzzlightyear]

I only asked because im making my eicr certificate and got my assesment coming this saturday.
Just wanted to make sure the inspector wont say anything when i put n/a

yeah .a f**King mess looks like tin of spaghetti in that board and the rest .
stand back look at your work and say did I do that!

 

[Gavin John Hyde]

Just saw the OP has a question about some test results i assume is to do with the same install on another thread... i have my doubts on whether you are ready to be assessed on Saturday @Abu be prepared for lots of questions and if you don't know the answers then know where to look for them in the relevant books.
Read your books to make sure it complies... sometimes the easiest bits are the ones most overlooked.
out of interest what scheme you joining? NICEIC stroma etc...

I am holding my breath on this .

I suspect you can access conductors through the rear entry of that board mounted the way it is, why people do this is beyond me.

Unless you have very long skinny fingers you would never get near any conductors...

 

[PEG]

Very difficult to assess or comment,from only one picture,and some posts,but i know for certain,there's a length of 25mm sitting in a van somewhere,that shouldn't be...

 

[Des 56]

Lets put to one side,the endemic lack of training that is the usual cause of most crap installations
There is no training whatsoever that is needed to look at any job,electrical or not and see it is not pleasing to the eye

Whatever has happened to the dressing of cables
Spaghetti runs like in those pictures,they are annoying to look at

 

[Deleted member 9648]

Based on that installation I wouldn't want be an Electricians 4 U client. Sorry fella but that's appalling.

 

[Pete999]

Is it necessary to do the r2 test if you have done r1+ r2 test for an eicr certificate

You mean R1+R2 don't you?

 

[Abu]

They work on Saturday's now?

Yh im suprised

 

[buzzlightyear]

Yh im suprised

who are you having to test your work?

 

[Abu]

who are you having to test your work?

Niceic domestic installer assesment

 

[Strima]

I have to say if I presented that installation to my area engineer I would be paying for the day and another day for when he comes back for a revisit a couple of weeks later...

Why a revisit?

[Pete999]

Why a revisit?

I would hazard a guess that the Engineer would have taken one look at what he had been asked to assess and come to the conclusion that the install was / is carp and asked to visit again after the install had been tidied up.

 

[telectrix]

i still don't know if the OP has installed that or if he's doing an EICR. confused .com.

Niceic domestic installer assesment

qualified are we .looking that lot you put in.
when you put the tails in for DNO did you run out of cable. or could you have not put the new consumer near the to the DNO. stretching to the imagination!
