I have been asked to do a landlord safety check on a 1st floor flat the board is a 4way wylex rewireable unit and im just wondering if i can still pass this as there will be no additions just the safety check?
 
3036 rewirable fuses in 1st floor flat

With reference to the above I had the niceic man out yesterday for my yearly visit now he told me a code 2 was a unsatisfactory under 17th regs
Assuming the flat is old and cables buried in walls
also there is no rcd protection for cables concealed in wall or partions
Which you would give a code 4 to
But remember your name is on the periodic

hope this helps

wow so does that mean that no install pre 17th will be a full pass on a periodic?
 
NICEIC are up there own arses - the Regs aren't retrospective. The current Regs only apply to work carried out NOW. Any work carried out in the past was applicable to the Regs at that time.
If I bought myself a car from the 50s, I wouldn't be expected to fit seat belts in it!
 
Don't forget the rating on the 3036 in a domestic is only 1ka (at least it was before 17th). So you'll have to compare that to the PFC incoming.

Remember, code 4 only means "does not comply with current regulations".
Code 4 would apply to every installation that does not have rcd protection on cables buried in walls except blah blah.....
Code 4's do not equate to an unsatisfactory periodic report.
