WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

Today's job inspect and test a domestic installation in a sheltered housing flat. TN-C-S earthing system. Main protective bonding correct. 


Wet room for disabled occupant. Electric shower and extract fan supplied from a Wylex 2 way consumer unit  with BS EN 61008 30mA RCD main switch. Recently installed.


RCD does not trip on X1 RCD test but does trip on X 5 and operation of test button. RCD does not tip on a second and third test after X 5 test and operation of the test button.


Thinking about the Note to Regulation 643.8 are you content with this installation as there are no other observations recorded and prepared to issue a "Satisfactory" EICR?

  • By the letter of 643.8, it might be a C3 rather than a C2, but I would strongly advise the landlord that the RCD needed to be replaced.


    I am inclined to think that any landlord who is getting EICRs is responsible and would, therefore, be keen to ensure that remedial work should be done at the earliest convenience.


    So John, what actually happened?
