Concerning EICR coding Discussion ThreadConcerning EICR coding Electrical Advice
Out of interest, what are your opinions on coding what I call 'technical C2s'. We all know what the regs say, and going off that a C2 is a C2, simple.. but there are definitely times when that's a bit grey. For example...
Exposed basic insulation is a straight C2 going by the letter of the book, but what if that exposed cable is caused by a small section of missing trunking 7 feet up a wall in a plant room where it's *extremely unlikely it'll ever be touched?
Or a DB with several holes in the side exceeding the max british standard finger... But that DB is 10 feet up in a locked room accessible only by trained persons?
Would you still code these as C2? Or C3 with a note explaining your reasoning?
And more to the point, if some idiot fetched some ladders and got a shock after sticking his fingers in the holes on the DB for ***** and giggles, would you be liable?
