Shepherds hut
Former Community Member
I’ve been asked to do an Eicr on a shepherds hut and the supply to it, only had a quick look. The supply is from a farmhouse tncs earthing arrangement to a commando socket. The hut is all wood except chassis which is steel. I think it would probably fall within the definition of caravan for bs7671 so with the tncs would not meet the regs. However since the thing is entirely wood except for the chassis is there an argument for a c3 code?
I’ve not tested anything yet, just a quick visual. I think there probably won’t be continuity to earth from the chassis due to rubber tyres on the concrete. If they do any remedials as a result of my it won’t be me doing it, I’ve just been asked for the eicr. As it stands it doesn’t look more dangerous to me than a garden shed so it would seem overzealous to give it a c2 even though it does not comply with bs7671. Am I being too lenient in my thinking?
