EICR code- Cooker switch with a socket outlet lacking RCD protection.

Sparkingchip
1980's end of terrace house, MEM Memera consumer unit with a RCBO to provide 30 mA RCD protection to the socket ring circuit, but no other circuits have RCD protection and there is not any outdoor sockets at all.


There is a cooker switch incorporating a 13-amp socket outlet, which is the closest socket to the kitchen window and with 1.5 metres of it, this socket does not have 30 mA RCD protection, what EICR code should be applied and why?

    Forgive me for being harsh, but that's just plain Darwinian.




     

    Not properly though, she had been able to reproduce and pass on the stupid gene before expiring

    I do not consider that the woman was stupid, lacking intelligence or common sense. She just lacked knowledge....a different thing entirely. There is no such thing as a "stupid gene".

    The mother did what she thought was right at the time and was trying to keep her home warm. She was unaware of the consequences of her actions, perhaps not being technically aware of the possible implications. We all may have done something "stupid" and survived narrowly due to pure luck.
