EICR code for a “Shall”.

Given that a Wiring Regulation containing the word “Shall” is not optional, but a definite requirement, can an existing installation that does not comply be coded 3-Improvement recommended rather than code 2-Potentially dangerous - urgent remedial action required?

Shall is, however, still widely used in bureaucratic documents, especially documents written by lawyers. Owing to heavy misuse, its meaning can be ambiguous and the United States government's Plain Language group advises writers not to use the word at all.
