It CAN be given a C2 if its in the cupboard under the stairs......

I was under the impression, that it was only a c3 if it was in an escape route or under the stairs. In what way is it a c2 if it's under the stairs? Don't agree with that at all.

That's what I was thinking of, it's the only piece of official literature I've actually seen that gives us any clue to codings. I only core a c3 if it's under stairs or in an escape route, mention it but no code anywhere else.

If all sparks used the codes per the BPG then there would be less confusion in the industry and with customers!

There would also be less opportunity for people to trick, and defraud, members of the public; and would also require people filling in EICRs to actually know, and understand, what they're doing.

Yes this is great for the standard observation buts it the more obscure ones when you find somthing not installed as you would expect and you are about to give it a code 1, but when you investigate in further you find it is perfectly safe and does not break any regs , a lot of it down to experience , text books don't have all the answer.
