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`ll not argue with what Sparkingchip has said. Yes I agree that we can`t rule out a C2 because we can`t see the state of the rest of it and know indeed at what height it`s at , where we can see it then it is not good at all. does it need protection and is any of it sufficiently secure as to not encourage a pull out or a tanglement?. We need to see the rest of it and some scale in order to determine included it`s intended use and it`s actual position comparted to the user.


    The OPs description of "missing trunking" and the OPs statement that it is "clipped" eludes to a C3 possibility at this stage.


    Can we have a complete picture please and a known object next to it (a tape rule to give us height scale might help)


    Unsecure cable and/or unprotected cables may or may not be the faults.

    Missing trunking is not a fault but it could be one remedy to it all .
