EICR failed missing trunking?

Former Community Member
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

    It may well get a C2 after that, but I would say "cable a bit loose squire, can I add a few clips for you"? Result: a couple of minutes of work and a happy customer, because he gets a satisfactory report (assuming the rest is OK).




    You don’t seem to get that there’s absolutely no reason whatsoever why the person undertaking the I&T should have any cable clips or other materials with them, indeed they may never do any installation work and may not even have a van.


    I seriously considered booking a taxi to drop me off in town to do a couple of EICRs right in the centre and may still do so, if do so I definitely won’t be nipping back home to get a few fixings.


    You also keep banging on about fire clips, the cable is not secured at all and warrants a C2 on that basis alone.


    There also seems to a general attitude that “it is only a shed” so it’s not that important if the electrical installation is up to standard.
