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

    One thing that is certain is that this forum does not exist to validate installations which may be unsound.



    I would also point out that The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 were enacted for a purpose.


    JPC seems to be doing his best to rectify the situation, but dare I say, at least cost. All the evidence which I have seen is that a complete re-wire is appropriate.
