Internal inspection of sockets and switches.

hertzal123
Some years ago on doing some remedials on a report,I noticed the inspector had put "internal inspection of selected

sockets and switches".Wondered if this is acceptable instead of giving a percentage of the inspections?

    When my daughter bought a new (old) house I did an inspection of the electrics. All was well and I remember removing one particular socket (brushed chrome) and  the connections were OK and tight so I refitted it.


    A couple of months later she commented that if she used this particular socket it tripped the RCD. I found a screw had fallen out (it was in the back box) and the innards of the socket were loose as a result, which cause a short when a socket was inserted. It was a very cheap socket brand. I suspect the MCB also tripped but she was a bit vague about it.


    How far can one go with an EICR.
