If I were you I'd follow what westward10 suggests. He's great at interpreting the Regs and has decades of experience, so he's your man ;)

Sorry I've just remembered this is a question relating to an EICR and also a query regarding a 30mA RCD. Just mark it down for FI. Jobs a good'en!
I shouldn't laugh, but I'm going to, hahahahahahahahhaahhhaa
 
Now now children don't let your minds wander they are probably too small to be out on their own.
 
I no this is an old post but,
A problem that would arrise is discrimination, if it's then fed via a circuit with 30mA protection and 3 circuits protected via 1 RCD.
As you have said it's transportable so unless it's connected to a sorce you can't report on what's not there.
Also when it's then Relocated it must be tested again which then it will be picked up on with the next tester.
They might be leaving the 100mA in for fire, fault protection and not additional.
In my opinion I would LIM what is not there and provide a separate write up or a risk assessment stating addtional protection may be required and would need FI when connected to a source?
Like you already said sockets will need addtional protection
Aircon would be if has outside unit etc
Lighting may not need it depending on installation method, outside fittings and special locations?

Look forward to some feedback?
 
It is my understanding that the EICR is for the transportable classroom and will remain in force for the period of the certificate and not the source of supply as it will be plugged into multiple locations that may or may not have a 30ma RCD.
 
Is this report being carried out before its moved or after? If not how can you assure connections won't come loose while being transported?
No different to a caravan as its only valid till its moved?
 
The frequency of inspection should be assessed by a competent person who is aware of the operating conditions for that vehicle. Some trucks could be static for long periods whilst others may be moved from location to location on a daily basis so it is important to assess the risks associated with different units. Minimally, the unit should be inspected and tested annually, with a Periodic Inspection Report obtained on its condition and the necessary maintenance work implemented.

A visual inspection should be carried out on the connecting cable and all plugs and socket-outlets before each and every transported use of the unit. The results of the visual inspection should be entered in a log-book as a permanent record of the condition of the electrical equipment.
