Evening..
I have just carried out an EICR and I am a little unsure on which code to issue for the following 4 things:
1. The cover has been cut on the fuse box to make way for the plug in mcb's (see picture). I see this all the time. A consumer unit is perhaps the single most important electrical item in the house, surely it should not be tampered with by cutting the cover off? C2?
2. There are 2 x 6mm bonding cable leaving the board. The gas is bonded. The water has no visible bonding clamp. It tests 117ohms to earth where it enters the house, shortly after in the same room there is a plastic joint. After this plastic joint it, again in the same room, it is metal and tests as 0.009Mohms. Both are extraneous. C2?
3. A knockout has been taken out of the bottom of the fuse box, it has one cable going into it. The hole is large enough for a child to fit their small finger into. The board is under the stairs and easily reachable. C2?
4. There are 2 switched FCU's in the bathroom outside of the zones. It's instilled into you never to fit a plate switch in a bathroom but the OSG actually states a plate switch is ok outside of the zones. No code?
Cheers guys.
Ps.. I'll try and figure out how to put a picture on in a bit. It used to be so easy!
