sorry to be a pain all
but
The more an more i read this report the more concerned i am that i will need to have a chat with this electrician
i maybe wrong but I'm guessing that you need specific equipment to carry out tests required to complete this report and on the last page it states
TEST INSTRUMENT enter serial number of each used I'm guessing that all these boxes shouldn't have been marked as N/A
Has my Father unfortunately parted with money for worthless report
There are a lot of people who are competent testers but don't know how to fill in a form, sadly, so simple errors on a form aren't always a sign of incompetence....Never a good look on a professional document though.
However, in this case - if there is an entry for multi-functional tester, then the others do not need to be entered as the one tester covers all the tests - so N/A might be correct.
There is also unfortunately some variation in guidance out there - though the Government has finally made it clear that they consider the
Best Practice Guide as the standard to start with.
The final result is still left largely to the inspector as a professional judgement though, which is unfortunate sometimes when myths or golden rules crop up that are based more on personal viewpoint than genuine safety concerns...
The downlights fire rating is another one that crops up often. The fire rating of downlights is more to do with maintaining the level of fire rating of the medium they are installed into (usually a plasterboard ceiling). If that ceiling is fire rated, then the lights must also be to maintain the rating.
Ceilings in domestic houses do not need to be fire rated just because there is a bedroom above. They may be in flats,
if the ceiling is being used as the fire barrier (which it often isn't when there is concrete construction, etc).
Edit: Just to add that garages with rooms above do I think do require fire rated downlights, but that's because fire rated plasterboard is also required in those cases...
Electrical Safety First do recommend the use of fire rated downlights in ceilings, but that is different from them being a C2 level on an EICR.
Old style halogen downlights do get very hot, so there are certainly some benefits to upgrading to LED ones - sometimes that just means changing lamps, but if putting new ones in Fire rated ones do make some sense generally - but that's not the same as something being potentially dangerous that must be fixed within 28 days.
If you can remove the identifying information and post the report, you will get some advice on whether it is just an inspector being cautious, incorrectly filled, or just fishing for work...
