Electrical Testing

Former Community Member

When coding any consumer unit or switchgear with a combustible (plastic) enclosure only when it is located under a wooden staircase or within a sole route of escape, a C3 is recommended. 


Does this recommendation signify that the overall rating of the install be satisfactory or unsatisfactory? 


I have been ticking Unsatisfactory for the general condition of the installation (in terms of electrical safety) AND the overall assessment of the installation in terms of its continued use! 


Is wrong wrong of me? Even though everything is perfect with results and the installation?

    At the end of the day, though, this is only guidance: none of the "coding" is a requirement of Chapter 65, it's one way of meeting it, but not the only way.


    Things are confused enough, Graham, without letting that cat out of the bag!
