EICR failed missing trunking?

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

    How anyone who is qualified to a suitable standard to do and EICR can C2 that is beyond me. Alright all the lips have broke, but its clearly not above a doorway, and if it did fall, the shelf bracket would catch it anyway. C3 at the most, where is the the potential danger in this picture caused by that cable? Just another example of job creation that EICR's are being used for. To me, EICR's are not about safety anymore, its all about job creation from vulnerable or ill-informed customers
