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

    Hmm, I`m (slightly) at odds with Sparkingchip on this.

    He`d start at C2 and might workdown to a C3. I`d start at a C3 but might work up to a C2. I suspect that if we both view that actual site we`d most probably give the same code. It`s just we can`t see it all at the moment




    The first thing you have to decide is if it could kill or injure you if you touch it.


    There not an obvious reason why that if you touch this cable you may immediately die or be injured, therefore it’s not a C1.


    Then you have to decide if it could contribute to creating an issue that could kill or injure someone, it could so potentially it’s a C2.


    I see lots of things I won’t touch and not just when I am doing electrical inspections.
