Evening all..
I have just finished my first EICR! It took a LONG time (10 hours in total - not including writing up the report which I am doing now with a cup of coffee!)
There were many, many faults/problems and I have coded most of them but am stuck with 5 of them and was hoping for some advice:
1. First floor landing has a triple pole switch outside first floor toliet room (for fan) which also isolates the lights in 3 of the first floor bedrooms. I cant see that being dangerous but its a bit odd... (Perhaps a C3 or no code at all?)
2. The fan (12V) in the downstairs bathroom does not work, plus there is no vent inside the bathroom to allow the fan to draw the air through. (probably a C2 but maybe a C3?)
3. There is a socket less than 300mm from the sink, but well away from the taps as its a very long sink. (no code or C3?)
4. T&E being used to feed outside light (perhaps C3 or is that harsh? T&E seems to be used outside everywhere, but that doesn't make it right?)
5. IR test between L-N on one of the rings was 0.01Mohm, but (L+N) - E was 516Mohm. (Bit stuck with this one - perhaps no code, but further investigation needed?)
Cheers all..
