opinions of C2 code on satisfactory EICR

but not I hope to leave it as a C2 fault after that rectification..... which is what that form implies.

I know what was meant, but its not what it says...

I am going to take a leaf out of GK's book and ask how a court would interpret it. I cannot see it being that the C2 remains.

It appears that item 2, given a C3, has also been dealt with by installing an SPD. If so, should this item have also been given a code? if an SPD was installed by the person doing the eicr, it appears to not have an indication of its functionality. It is all a bit sloppy. 

Item 3 could mean that the arcing was rectified as in arc rectification, which is a very clever observation.

Frankly, I am not sure what the second observation means. Even if an SPD has an indicator, how many people would go and lift the lid and check it?

I carry out hundreds of EICR’s per year for a large housing association, our certification is regularly checked by the governing bodies when they do there annual assessments and they are happy with this approach.

Thanks, that is useful to know, if rather surprising.

There was no spd at all and the cooker switch connections were still 2 turns loose with evidence of marks on the neutral and possibly cpc behind the switch.

So if there was no SPD at all. Then why was the observation given that there was no indication of functionality? After one was fitted by the person doing the eicr, and that one had no indication, then why did they fit it, knowing it would get a C3?

This before and after mash up leads to confusion. I don't particularly care if the certification bodies' inspectors think it is ok, it is not clear and understandable. If there needs to be a record of remedial works done on the day, I suggest it should be put in the "comments on the existing installation" box, and a clean, satisfactory report issued.

There was no spd at the time of my audit visit,one was not fitted at all.

So are you saying that the cooker connexion had not been rectified?

If so, it more than justifies your audit.
