What happens when Not verified N/V is used?

[nazoom]

When filling in the Condition Report Schedule for Domestic with up to 100A, section 5.10 (Concealed cables installed in prescribed zones) Some one replied that is should be N/V. Does that mean that Further investigation is required? The reference Method is B as cables are concealed inside the walls and there is no way of knowing how deep are.

Sorry for asking too many questions. But I really appreciate all the help. Hopefully this the last time I ask questions.

Many thanks.

are you sure its ref method B ?
clipped direct to wall is ref C

anyways , you dont have to write anything in the report for cables in walls & floors that you cant see , its already noted on the first page of the eicr under limitations - have a look.

the inspection sample rate of 30% 50% or whatever , is for accessories such as lights , sockets etc , its not for cables as most houses only have about 2% of visible cable on show.


in the section " cables in prescribed / safe zones " , just write N/V ( not verified )

from another thread you just had answered

N/V means not verified. you can't chisel the walls to see the cables, nor are you superman with x-ray vision. all you can do is IR and continuity test cables that are concealed.

Agree with tel

So for anything that is N/V (Not Verified) it requires Further Investigations?

Thanks again.

^^^ not necessarily, particularly if you have agreed limitations with the customer; or something crops up during the inspect/test
