Pir test

[AD 543]

i did a test on a property, found lighting circuit wired in 1.5 2 core T&E, no cpc. Under the 17th edition this circuit would need a cpc. On the PIR form
I filled in requirement 2 - needs attention. does this then need to be changed, immediately? Or can i state to the customer it is acceptable provided no changes are made to the light switches and fittings?

Are we obliged to ensure if we have done a test that must be 17th edition compliant?

Then its 2c not T/E

If there are no class one fittings then a C3 but if there are then a C1/2

A note should be recorded on the EICR and a label attached to the CU that no class 1 fittings should be installed.

The installation does not have to be made 17th dition compliant as it may have been installed to an earlier edition which does not neccesarily mean its unsafe.
