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 do not presume anything is safe and satisfactory when inspecting and testing electrical installations, always assume that you might not live to walk back out of the door to go home if you do not keep your wits about you. Start at the intake and confirm the means of earth is satisfactory along with the DNO equipment, then work out to the extremities of the installation to the ends of the circuits, stopping when you find an issue to decide how to proceed. Anyone who starts at the ends of the circuits and work back to the intake is putting themselves and others at risk.


    People have died and been injured whilst undertaking inspection and testing for EICRs, some have never being able to complete the report.


    Anyway it is totally obvious that this particular installation is unsatisfactory without any discussion, the cable is not secured at all, it now needs securing in a way that complies with the regulations, as if it were being installed for the first time, unless you are going to record deviations from the Wiring Regulations on the Minor Works Certificate that should be appended to the EICR to show that the remedial work has been completed in a satisfactory and workmanlike manner.
