opinions of C2 code on satisfactory EICR

Newfutile

I am about to audit a property tested by a contractor.

on the report it has a C2 code but also states rectified, while we like a record of repairs and the previous code assigned, im not sure its correct to have a C2 on a satifactory EICR?

    Probably needs 2 EICR.  First one be Unsatisfactory EICR and dated.  This would then be followed by the remedial works and an EIC or minor works and finally the 2ND EICR would be satisfactory.


    The issue seems to arise depending on who or what company does the EICR.

    Small company may do the EICR and correct minor faults or issues as they find them.  Larger company will just do the EICR and then report back what they found at the time of inspect and verification and they would not make modification unless there was a C1.  Then they would only make safe.  Some people may say this is counter intuitive.  Why have 2 visits to site?  Others will say the EICR is just snap shot in time of an inspect and test.  Sometimes it depends on who will do the remedial work.  It is not uncommon for a person to do the EICR and a different people or company to do the remedial work.   Scope of Works may also come into play here.

    This could also be site dependant, eg the average UK domestic dwelling vs office block with multiple floors

    Personally if it is a quick fix while doing the EICR and time allows I would say do the remedial work and then the need for a C2 is removed.
