Single cores outside enclosure

Are Single cores outside enclosure classed as a C2 for a EICR? 

thanks for your answers in advance

  • maybe - it would depend on where and what else is there, I cannot see it. 

    It maybe even a C3 for the inaccessible wiring behind the downlight - depends if the cavity behind is totally enclosed and what else is in it that the wire may snag on (pipes or bits of metal for a partition or suspended ceiling full of other cables  are more of a concern than an void bounded by  only non-moving brick and plasterboard)

    Brittle plastic is interesting , serious if cracked and flaking off to bare copper less so if just a bit stiff . For me a with pulled out SWA I'd be worried about loss of earth and loss of weather proofing more than a bit of exposed red or brown - though if the core is rubbing on a thin metal edge them I'd be more worried again .  I'd also be wondering who did the glands up and what else they may have done equally badly.
