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

    Keep with the programme fella, a tail light is a clear fail, and any decent fitter would as part of the service replace anyway. However, we are talking about a simple situation where it was not expected a fraudulent report would be provided by the level of idiot becoming commonplace in this industry


    Regards, UKPN




    So what you are saying is that customers should instruct an electrician to “service” their electrical installations and undertake all repairs so that they always get a satisfactory EICR?


    This installation is ####, the discussion is not about if it is bad, just how bad. I have no sympathy for the person who received an unsatisfactory EICR, it’s their own fault for not getting the installation tidied up before it was inspected and tested.


    We can only see a section of the cable, but some people seem to think it is outrageous to state that the cable needs impact protection, but it may be quite a sensible observation.
