EICR failed missing trunking?

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 only done four EICRs during the last Covid lockdown that started January 2021, two landlords EICRs in empty properties, one house sale EICR and one landlords EICR in an occupied property for my Godfather.


    I cannot see why I should be expected to go around doing landlords EICRs in occupied homes during the Covid lockdown, apart from that I don’t have much enthusiasm when it comes to landlords EICRs.


    There is occasionally a rental property where you can go and not find any issues, but generally they are full of #### like there is in the original posters photo, which is clear unacceptable to any dim wit.


    So then instead of just being able to sit at my desk at fire through the report and say it is satisfactory I end up going through and justifying every observation. I do have the benefit of using the NAPIT Desktop certificate software, though like most things in life it comes at a price that means you have to use it enough to justify the expenditure.


    So when I Code an issue on the Schedule of Inspections it brings up a dialogue box with a selection of observations, I can then select one send it pre-populates the observations, which I can then edit and make job specific using the Codebreakers book as a reference.


    It takes time and a bit of patience, but the customer ends up with a report on which all the observations are referenced to The Wiring Regulations.


    I gave you observations and references in the previous post, which you can argue about if you want to, but remember as a general rule of thumb, if it looks like #### it probably is ####.
