New EICR - "No earth bond to some socket boxes: C2"?

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
I have a new EICR which has the observation "No earth bond to some socket boxes: C2".


I have checked continuity between all faceplate mounting screws and the earth of the socket. They are all connected, i.e. the back box is at least earthed by the screw if not with a tail internally (I have not removed the front plates of any sockets). The earth of each socket is connected to the ring.


While it is best practice, is it a requirement of the regulations that a tail is connected internally?


many thanks

    This great forum, born out of two long institutions, now fast becoming a graveyard for bogus wiring reports. 

    Amateur electricians...

    Well, that's me.


    When I googled for help on my EICR I was surprised this site came up. I would have expected the IET to be more concerned with debating the finer points of the electronic control of magnetic confinement in a nuclear fusion torus. Of course, I have been extremely grateful for the wise advice I have received here.


    I used to ask domestic wiring questions in a Facebook group called "Crap Electrical". Years ago it was a very helpful group but over time it filled up with arrogant sparks waving their manhood about and slagging off diligent DIYers.
