EICR failed missing trunking?

Former Community Member over 4 years ago

Hi,

I’ve just had an EICR done last week, One item I do not understand and would need an electrician or someone to help please. the EICR report says “MISSING TRUNKING WITH WIRES NOT SUPPORTED C2 SHED.” The cable is clipped on the wood wall in the shed. There are no exposed wires. And the shed is not on escape routes. Does cable need to be in trunking in order to comply with the electrical wire regulation? Is the code 2 correct for this situation? please see photo.

Thank you for help

That's pretty shabby and needs to be improved. The appropriate code is probably C3, but if there is a socket dangling from the end of the cable C2 might be justified.

It's not exactly difficult to fix: all you need is a box of cable clips and a hammer. Position the clips with the nail below on the horizontal portion and space them 200 - 250 mm apart. Spacing can be a little further apart on the vertical part of the run.

It really just needs to be neat and tidy when completed.
