EICR failed missing trunking?

Former Community Member
Former Community Member

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.1ff9527a633c65202618bef88f7b0919-original-shed.jpg



Thank you for help

    I would firstly give the amateur one week wonder let loose courtesy of a questionable coding system the chance to do the right thing.

    This being an explanation of how a cable fixed to a wall with a bit hanging off the broken clip/s is potentially dangerous. 

    If that fails ask politely for an amended satisfactory report. If that fails point out you have been mis-sold a service and require details of his insurance company. If that fails tell him he will have an appointment at the small claims court. Where his experience, qualifications will be questioned and no doubt take a couple of seconds to detail. 

    There is a guy on here by all accounts asking for this kind of thing to put forward to improve the system. It wont work, the industry is stuck with it. In any event in the front of the "code of practice" is the famous disclaimer. So they will never be held liable.


    Good luck, and by the way, a decent electrician  would have pulled his hammer and a couple of clips out and solved the "issue." Probably tells what kind of muppet he is.
