Hi All

A scenario …

Commercial building

Metalclad distribution board (memshield 2)

Sockets on rcbo's

Lighting on MCB

On a condition report obviously the lighting circuit does not meet the 18th edition

(cable buried less than 50mm)

But, the regs themselves say you cannot fail a test due to the regs not being currently,met if they would have met the previous edition

And, how can this then not be a C2? and how could pretty much every old board not fail?

Ok…

What I am really asking is..

On an EICR How can I pass a test when the cables are not buried less than 50mm on an otherwise good installation??? But not Not rcd protected

Have a look specifically at Page 14 of the ESF Best Practice Guide no. 4, C3 recommended for the nonconformity you quoted: https://www.electricalsafetyfirst.org.uk/media/2149/bpg4-1.pdf

But also have a look at Pages 8 and 9 as to what constitutes each of the Codes
