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 have just shown that photo to my wife.


    She says although she is not an electrician she can see it is potentially dangerous and there’s no way it’s acceptable.


    There are five broken clips and the cable is not secured to the wall in any way whatsoever,it is merely hooked over one of the broken clips.


    It obviously does not go into fitting that is secured to the wall at the bottom of the photo, because the cable is several inches away from the wall, so the cable either goes on down at a height where bikes, garden tools and other stored items could be leaning on it or there is a broken fitting dangling on the end of it.


    Whoever failed to maintain this installation in a safe condition should not be surprised that it has has been classified as unsafe to use.


     It is obviously a potential entanglement issue just to someone putting their bike away in the shed, they could catch it with the handle bars!


    What do you think the GasSafe inspector would say if that was a length of gas pipe? Oh, it’s okay it will hold itself up?
