just failed eicr

[glasgospark]

1. shower had incorrect isolation switch
2. shower wired in 2.5mm cable
3. shower suppl not on its own circuit
4. earth not connected for circuit 3
5. no earth sleeving circuit 4
6. faulty switch on kitchen socket
7. every circuit apart from the cooker had failed the insulation resistance test

thus the test conclusion was unsatisfactory.


guy then asked so all i need is to retest in 10 year :S

he was positive he doesnt need to rectify

property was rented out and he was landlord

 

[GLENNSPARK]

give him the report...then just leave it with him.....

 

[glasgospark]

yeah , i have done that and left comments on the sheets.
so ive done my part and fixed a C1 ( earth not connected)

just the fact he was thinking awell ill leave it and that having the report done was all he needed to do

well you would have been within your rights to issue a danger notice over that disconnected CPC in my eyes....
thats after of course his insistance that he do nowt about it....

C1 ???????????
even completely missing bonding is only a C2 ?

 

[glasgospark]

regarding cpc i re connected as soon as i noticed .

basically this guys needs these circuits rewired that failed IR
flat is around 25-30 year old
but the fact that the shower is wired in 2.5mm through a sw/fuse spur from day 1 is SHOCKING , (theres no bath only shower)
heard from maintenance plumber that all the flats are F***** lol

I would be quite surprised if an install of 1980s white pvc failed insulation test,out of interests what readings did you get.

Landlords are the worst for getting things done, and they should be the ones who should want to get it sorted. If i was a landlord id sleep better at night knowing my property and tenants are safe, IMO

DIY disaster been going on there,today i went to a cafe where the new owner had decided to wire up his own 3 phase fryers x 2 and a fish fryer on 1 single 15A 3p supply with an adaptable box it had 6mm singles in and 3 x 1.5mm coing out then into commandos,the bloke said he wondered why there was a smell of burning,crikey,diy home improvements are one thing but now they want to diy the light commercial stuff too.What next!!!

Without meaning to sound like I'm taking a pop at you, which I'm not as I don't know you, are you confident that you are testing correctly? As with those figures something is seriously amiss somewhere.

tested lives-earth for these readings

 

[robsparky1975]

circuits in use? 0.00M ohm impossible,might be a pain but i just unplug everything.Can you return and test again.
