Electrician fined for EICR.

 

That should presumably be taken as a legal precedent that forty year old installations are unlikely to be classed as satisfactory on an EICR?

So what is 651.2 NOTE 2 all about then?

"……this does not necessarily mean that they are unsafe" Presumably meaning that they are “satisfactory for continued use.”

My home electrics are older than 40 years and present no immediate  danger.

Perhaps in the eyes of the inspector it did comply with 651.2. (i) to (vi).

653.2 requires only reporting on any non-compliance with the requirements of B.S. 7671  WHICH MAY GIVE RISE TO DANGER. (Caps. mine)
