Have been handed a nice job today... remedial work in a failed EICR :-( ... just a few things on it are not necessarily things I would have included/ coded on the report if I had dont it myself :-?
Can not locate earth electrode so therefor cannot deem it to be safe C2 (... My reakoning is if you are getting a satisfactory earth fault loop reading and can confirm its not from gas/ water pipes etc then surely that has deemed it to be safe already),. whats others opinions on this? .. could be tape, plate etc and not necessarily a rod as such... In a terraced house with the front door opening onto the street .. I dont exactly want to start installing a new rod due to gas/ water pipes, and underground cables etc....
8.5 shower fused on 30A fuse... C1,.. yes technically thats about 36 amps but if its not blowing the fuse its not exactly dangerious... C3 IMO
RCD protection required on circuits 1,2,3,4 & 5 as there are pvc/pvc burried in walls less than 50mm deep C1... Again C3 imo.. The installation is only approx 10 years and wired to 16th spec...
Whats your opinions on these observations?
