Electrician fined for EICR.

Apparently the installation in question was installed to the 14th or 15th Edition, so if it hasn’t been updated had no RCD protection at all.

I took advice on coding an installation like this in a third floor flat without any outdoor access that had not been altered at all, I spent a considerable amount of time on the phone to the NAPIT Technical Helpline, I passed it as safe to use, BUT the list of observations and recommendations for improvements is considerable. 

It felt wrong “passing” it, but it was considered safe at the time of installation, anyone reading the EICR should really be able to see I consider it is time it is updated.

I don’t know why people knock the NAPIT codebreakers book, read the list of contributors it’s pretty impressive, in addition they gauged opinions of members at trade association meetings, it’s not the work of one person expressing their personal opinions, there was a hell of a lot of consultation with knowledge and experienced people, including me ?
