EICR

Hello I have a fuseboard with fuses specifying BSEN60898 on them. Is the fuseboard compatible with the EICR or do I need to replace it?

  • I automatically assumed that given C1 and C2 (and F1) are non compliant/not-safe, EICR picks the matter for that.

    Just to ensure clarity (or perhaps just stating the bleedn obvious) - C1 & C2 are various kinds of not-safe, and in the absence of any more information FI (Further Investigation) should be treated similarly. That's not at all the same as non-compliances however. Some non-compliances (e.g. wiring that uses older colour codes for conductors) don't impact on the safety of users of the installation, so wouldn't attract a code at all, others might only be slightly detrimental to safety (e.g. lack of RCD additional protection for sockets feeding indoor equipment in dry areas) would often only attract a C3 and of itself not lead to an unsatisfactory EICR. Only the more severe non-compliances should lead to a C1 or C2.
