Former Community Member

Hi Guys n Girls

Im currenlty doing EICRs for a local authourity.

Basic Insulation od meter tails of more than 15mm showing. So coding it as C2

Client Compliance Manager is saying that I should rectify? But i thought it was ilegal to tamper with DNO equipment? So Im uncomforttable doing this . Compliance manager said he will issue an email stating that it is ok to do this? That also cannot be legal?

What are my options, and where do I stand legally?

    I think we can all agree that unless you take it all apart which is in breach of EWR, and other legal matters, you will end up making a pigs ear of it.

    I have been given a few tips here, and going forward, I will manufacture a tophat, made from plastic trunking, and carefully adhere some silicone to fix it, which will get rid of the C2.

    C3 will still be there, unless it is all taken apart.


    Welcome any future comments


    So there you are, fixed, and everybody will be happy. Sorry if that sounds a touch cynical, but in fact, it is a solution. Best of luck!
