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

    I am with Sparkingchip on this one. If this cable connects to a socket then since mechanical damage has already occurred, evidenced by the broken cable clips, I would also give a Code 2. 

    So according to some comments, that makes me fraudulent and incompetent. So much for 40 years experience at the coal face, over 30 years teaching on various electrical courses and a brace of relevant qualifications, including NEBOSH risk management. Ah well, every day is a learning day! 

    However, in the meantime I will continue to evaluate the risk as I see it using well established principles of risk assessment and I shall not fear the armchair generals heckling in the background!
