Under what circumstances would a Sub-DB need to have MPB links to water and gas?
I had always believed that the CPC of the feed from the Main-DB would be sufficient, assuming it had been designed and installed properly.
Got a situation where you have a small Sub-DB in a caretakers office, situated next to a toilet. The caretaker who is a mate of mine asked me to look at an EICR that had just been done on it. To me it looks like whoever has done it is fishing for work. They've claimed that a lack of RCD protection for the sockets in the office is a C2, claimed that an outside light is fed from 2 sources, when it clearly is not, and also claimed that there is no MPB to water supply. NOw I don't do EICRs as I don't feel I quite have enough experience yet but only looked at the EICR as a favour.
I know that the RCD C2 is a C3. It would only be a C2 if it was a location with a bath or shower.
I know about the light, because I tested it
But the C2 given for no MPB to the water is what's bugging me.
What is also a concern is that whoever did the EICR put details down about the main intake, but never actually went there. They never went there because nobody seems to know where the feed in the office originates from. The caretaker does not know, and was with the spark the whole time, she said he never left the office. The test results I got where also quite different from the ones written on the EICR.
Finally, he used a domestic EICR form on what I would not consider a domestic install. He was a NIC approved contractor?
I'm tempted to just say to the caretaker to get another firm in.
Any opinions and thoughts would be appreciated.
Cheers
