Discuss Inspection and Testing Questions in the Periodic Inspection Reporting & Certification area at ElectriciansForums.net

Have your company parted with their money,if so.put it down to experience and remember to verify that the person(not the company)are competent to do this work
The person doing the report is either very mis informed/incompetent or they require the remedial work
You have no redress against these people because the report can mean a lot of different things to different people and in the end is only an opinion by that person on your installation

Given some of the deviations(they may very well not be) and the codings that accompany these deviations
you may be better requesting the PIR be done by a proved competent person
Remember there is nothing stopping anybody doing this work if they think they are competent even if they fall far short of the standard that should be expected
The report you describe bares little relation to electrical safety in my opinion
Suckered is another term that could be used
 
Yes mate there are code 1,2,3,4 faults
