Following on from the thread about "PIR Code 1s and am I being scammed", where the requester of the PIR believes that a fault has been coded incorrectly, what can be done about it?
It is reasonable to discuss with the electrician and ask for the report to be re-issued?
If the electrican won't agree to re-issue the report because they disagree with any assertion that the coding is incorrect, would it be worth taking this up with their registration body?
Would it just be simpler to gather and retain the evidence that the fault is mis-coded, e.g. ESC Best Practice Guide and Electrican Forum comments?
BTW I have a PIR for my rental property that lists the non-marking of the switched conductors (on lighting circuits) as a Code 2 whereas the ESC Best Practice Guide suggests this is a Code 4. I'm not proposing to fix this.
Thoughts?
