Discuss Tails inside consumer unit bare copper, not terminated correctly - C1 or C2 ? in the Periodic Inspection Reporting & Certification area at ElectriciansForums.net

This. One could always consider fixing it as a goodwill gesture to the customer.
Indeed and I'd like to think sparks with a conscience would but there are always those that will fill that report with as much fluff as they can to make it look horrific for the customer so that they're scared into getting remedials done by the same mob
 
A juicy C1 on the consumer unit could mean a nice cushty board change for the people doing the EICR

Work for the boys ?

To be clear, I wasn't putting the OP into this category. After all, he asked the question how to code it.
It also may not have been practical to cut power at that moment to fix.

There are a few good reasons why I don't generally do remedial work as I carry out an EICR (other than very brief, absolutely essential work), unless my client specifically asks me to.

One reason is that I am expected to produce a report on the current condition of the installation, and fixing things as I go skews the results of that report, and gives an inaccurate overall impression of the installation.
