Underfloor heating regulations - EICR

Mr_deep_:

Hi guys 


If underfloor heating has been fitted and basically just spured off from the ring straight to the thermostat, would that need to be flagged on a EICR? 


We don't know who manufactured it, so can't check their recommendations on this particular make and model


Seems a bit rough to me - Feel to flag as I would have wired via an FCU 


Thanks

If the under floor electrical heating system was accidently damaged, perhaps by somebody drilling through it, or flooded, a local isolator in the form of a double pole switched fused connection unit could be used to isolate just the now faulty load without the need to turn off the whole supplying ring final circuit.
