I'm about to carry out a periodic and after asking other sparks i know (who seem to have different opinions) and reading up from various sources i'm still unsure on the correct coding to put on the certificate.
The PIR is at a shop which also has an upstairs flat. It's a TNS system and there are 2 x fuseboards. One for the shop and one for the flat above.
Neither board has RCD protection.
Question 1. As the downstairs board is for a shop would this have no coding as it's a commercial premises?
Question 2. I know the upstairs flat has to fail as it's a domestic property and doesn't meet the 17th edition but would it be a code 4 as it's an upstairs flat and unlikely to have portable equipment plugged into the sockets or would it be a 2 similiar to a house?
Finally i'll be checking the supplementary bonding in the flat bathroom when deciding on RCD requirements as well. If none then that would be a code 2 i assume not a 4 for the lighting in there?
hope this doesn't come across as too thick but i'm fairly new to periodics and although up for interpretation i don't want to be too strict or more importantly too slack when it comes to coding
