EICR failed missing trunking?

Andy, I assume from that post about codes that you are fully incapable of a proper EICR by coding things yourself? Those might be the codes given certain circumstances but I think in this case a C3 is perfectly adequate. Those coding books are less use than an udder on a Bull and are one of the reasons that inadequately trained people think that they can carry out an EICR! Why do you keep quoting them (not for the first time) in order to justify your comments? Assess the situation yourself. Make a reasonable conclusion based on your own knowledge of both the regulations and a reasonable assessment of any danger present. In this case trunking has been demanded to correct the situation, why is everyone trying to find other possible faults as well? All we know is that the clips are broken, in my view because they were probably inadequate from day one and the shed has stored things which have pushed the cable breaking the clips. If you look carefully you will see that the spacing is far too wide, the clips are at odd angles and so will never have been very good. Conclusion: probably not done by a competent electrician, look for more serious defects like loose or missing earth connections, incorrect polarity etc, excessive Zs, no RCD protection at the socket (which is probably also not fixed properly). That is a proper job. It may well get a C2 after that, but I would say "cable a bit loose squire, can I add a few clips for you"? Result: a couple of minutes of work and a happy customer, because he gets a satisfactory report (assuming the rest is OK).
