Eicr code 2? Thoughts
What makes you say that Dillb?. I'm only asking for other peoples opinions as you we'll know with eicr it's down to the person who is conducting the testing to make any recommendation. IMO wylex wooden back box db does constitue a fire hazard. Therefore potential danger under an overload in the board or fault. So C2
you can always justify a code C3 as "improvement recommended". a lot of these boards have the fuse cover missing, so that could even be a code C2 due to the fact that live parts are not protected to IP4X
No code for me. Can't see how you can justify it
I think it's an interesting point and worth discussing.
I think a C2 is way over the top though (unless there are signs of thermal damage), I wouldn't even put a C3 simply because it is a recognised CU and has been perfectly acceptable for many years as Archy says. But... part of form 7 does mention about the type of enclosure with regards a fire hazard (haven't got the form to hand) and wood is certainly combustible!!
i always thought it was top and front.
ive seen them with the mainswitch melted/cracked due to the tails being loose also the brass screws holding the femail contact on the bottom bar come loose causing the fuse to overheat and fall apart
