Help with an EICR code please

Hi Guys.

I know this was discussed on the previous forum before it got binned.  I started an EICR on a private rental this afternoon, i am going back there tomorrow to finish as i ran out of time today.

 The boiler is located in a small wet room, it is out of zone 1.  It is fitted in what is basically a wall mounted kitchen cupboard. No lock or even any sort of latch.  There are isolation switches in there for the boiler and a fan from what i could see. 

There are no obvious signs of corrosion.

I remember reading about the door should have a lock or at least some way of keeping it shut but don't know where. Is this written into the regs somewhere as i can't see anything in 701. 

I don't think there is a code here, just maybe an observation / comment about it not being ideal for the location because of possible moisture issues in the boiler .

Does anybody disagree with any of that please.

Thanks.  Gary

  • No I don't disagree.

    I have a bathroom, which contains an airing cupboard, which in turn contains a boiler and I have never felt threatened by it.

    I think that 701.411.3.3 applies - RCD protection required.

    Given that there is no obvious reason why a wet and naked person would be operating the boiler, if there is no RCD protection, I would grade C3.
