Would you want one of the Geoff’s to do an EICR for you?

That’s confused the forum software, it cannot find a similar discussion to suggest an answer. Run with this, it is Saturday night 

So, do you feel that Geoff Wilson or Geoff Thompson would provide you with an accurate and easy to understand Electrical Installation Condition Report?

I had better add a disclaimer, these two are not living, breathing people and must not be confused with any real people who are electricians or electrical engineers.

  • OSG EICR 

    Observation 3- No additional protection by RCD for socket-outlets C3

    Inspection Schedule- 5.12 Provision of additional protection by RCD not exceeding 30 mA.

    • for all socket outlets of rating 32A or less, unless an exception is permitted. Ticked acceptable condition.
    • for supply to mobile equipment not exceeding 32 A for outdoor use. Ticked acceptable condition.
    • for cables concealed in walls at a depth of less than 50 mm . C3 Improvement recommended.

    There is no rhyme or reason to it, the schedule doesn’t tally with the observations, the observations comment on the sockets, but not the cables in walls, the schedule codes the cables in walls but not the sockets.
