The EICR and competence. What are we going to do about the endless problems brought to the forum?

Your answers Gentlemen, please. This is indicating a serious problem in the Industry. Trust is now zero. I am disgusted with the behavior of these alleged "inspectors" who are dim, dumb, deaf and blind, and cannot read the BBB. It is not good enough is it?

    Last year I graded a flat as “satisfactory” before doing so I sought guidance, my advisor said he knew I wanted to grade it as unsatisfactory, but I could not justify doing so. It is a forty year old installation with an electric shower, there is not any RCD protection at all for anything, my advisor said that although it felt completely wrong and immoral to say it is still satisfactory, as it has not been altered in forty years I could only write a long list of non-compliances with the current regulations and code all of them C3.


    Electric shower 40 years ago? Unfortunately, yes. We moved into a house in 1975 which had one. 3 kW just about took the chill off the cold water.


    C3 provided that the supplementary bonding was all tickety-boo.
