EICR failed missing trunking?

You seem to be getting really wound up Andy. Are you trying to prove competence by a picture of your tool bag? A copy of your 2391 certificate might be better, nice though the bag looks if you like that kind of thing! Even the certificate says far too little though. 2391 some years back had a low pass rate, less than 25%. then we got some new numbers, and now it is not fit for purpose. That is progress, is it? A low pass rate on an examination says that the students are poor, the teacher poor or the students do not wish to pass. I have seen courses where all three are true in various degrees. Far too many people tend to think that unless an installation matches their ideas of quality or tidiness or something, it must be bad, usually quoting the "workmanship" clause in BS7671 as justification. I'm afraid I could not understand what your talk about shed fires and electrical safety was all about, or the fire brigade using a hosereel via a house (normal practice if necessary) had to do with the question. The chance of a shed fire with anyone seriously involved is absolutely minute unless they are making bombs at the time. House fires are rarely bad unless people are sleeping. They rarely pass between houses but they may be smoke damage to adjoining properties particularly if they are old, or possibly between roofspaces where there is no division between the properties. As for the talk about parking your van and the problems with yellow lines, we all have that!


There is a point where something of a pragmatic approach is needed. This is where the experience comes into play, as BOD has been known to say "one can always find a fault in every installation" or words to that effect. Unless you are amazing I bet I could find some (minor) problems with some of your work, and you probably could with mine. For example, I worked on someone's garden lights recently, replacing halogen floods with new LED ones. I did not see the CU because I could not go into the house. I corrected some very bad (possibly dangerous but not compliant) wiring in the garage as I wired the new fittings. I did a Zs reading which was satisfactory on the circuit. I filled in a MWC with that number but little else. He and I are both satisfied with the work. I was pragmatic and did what the customer wanted. It was better than before, and therefore satisfactory. The alternative was to leave an older man in danger of falling over in the dark without anyone else around. Potentially life-threatening risk averted. That is the job.
