Imposed code 2

lyledunn

A contractor gave a code 3 to an outside socket located on the exterior wooden balcony of a first floor restaurant which was only used for Xmas tree. Reason no additional protection. He was subsequently subject to NICEIC assessment the outcome of which required him to re-visit his client, withdraw the satisfactory report and amend it with a code 2 thereby resulting in the report having unsatisfactory designation. To add insult to injury, he was required to confirm he had carried out that instruction by writing to NICEIC head office. This he obediently did. I am afraid I may have taken a more belligerent stance!

    Hi Lyle,

    I`m not sure if you mean that as if you were in the position of  an assessor or as the contractor. 

    I think the NICEIC solution was probably correct but can also see the argument that they "should have come down on the contractor like a ton of bricks" .

    Now where is my tin hat?

    Yes anything could have been plugged into that socket, even at ground level via an extension lead. Things like an outdoor kiddies ride, a vending machine or other equipment. The socket should have R.C.D. protection.
