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 may have coded the issues as C3, but the starting point is C2 and should the issue be downgraded to being an acceptable risk is what needs to be considered.


    No, I don't think that there is any presumption other than "satisfactory" until shown otherwise.


    We have half the picture (literally) here. I don't think that the top end of the cable has been cut - it bends around the wee joist. Whether it is C3 or C2 depends upon what is on the end. If, for example, there is a socket on a pattress, just dangling there, I think that C2 is justified; certainly if the cores are exposed.


    If we were there, we could code it properly. Oh go on then, on the information provided, it's an FI. ?
