As it says - what code should I be giving to a metal CU where the cables come straight in through the knockouts without any form of protection. Meter tails and main earth enter through different apertures 'n all.

Whilst I agree that in reality it's unlikely to pose any real issue in a domestic installation I would still C2 it as it is not something which I would condone.the different holes i'd code as C3 as the small eddy currents on a dom. will not cause a problem
C2 potentially dangerous?Whilst I agree that in reality it's unlikely to pose any real issue in a domestic installation I would still C2 it as it is not something which I would condone.
It does have the potential to be dangerous, although as stated with the loads in a domestic installation this is unlikely.C

you asked what code ?TN S. No signs of damage. I'm not doing an EICR just installing outdoor lighting.
Only recently - it was prohibited until a handful of years ago.Yet a seperate cpc can enter a separate hole if ran in parallel with a swa
C1 for no blanks - Direct access to live parts.I think this one is c1.

Presumably the missing blanks giving access to live parts.What do you think would warrant a C1?
also there is only 1 10mm bonding cable from MET block which would mean only 1 bonding cable running to incoming gas or water
Or even to both via one cable
I was taught to run 1 to water and another to the gas from the MET.
Standard finger -if you can poke something 12.5mm in dia and 75mm long and touch and exposed part then it needs to have a gromit/ gland fitted.
I remember my collage lecturer finding a standard finger amusing. I don't know why?
