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?

  • Given that The Wiring Regulations have been published continuously since 1882 perhaps it should not be a surprise that after a hundred and thirty years the language may seem at bit archaic.

    However in 1882 I’m sure “Shall” would have been considered as a definite requirement.

    Perhaps someone might have a look in a First Edition and see how often it is used?
