opinions of C2 code on satisfactory EICR

Thanks for the update, and clarification. So 2 out of 3 of the observations are shown to be worthless in that they weren't remedied, so this before and after scenario is moot. 

Just a thought on the dodgy cooker switch connection, were both cables the same, in and out? There can be problems with stranded cables being put into terminals not designed for them.

The first observation, missing grommet strip, might also be moot. If all the cables that come through the back knockout do so through a smaller diameter hole in the backboard or are plastered into the fabric of the wall, then it is difficult to see how any movement of the cables, either by someone disturbing the cables in the CU, or by yanking the cables through a void behind the CU, could ever cause the edges of the knockout to strip the insulation from the cables. So a grommet strip would not be needed. I've had this confirmed during an annual assessment by an inspector.

Not trying to tell you your job Newfutile, I think it is great you and your company are on the case with auditing these reports, but I am constantly seeing substandard, uninformative and unclear EICRs, especially now the 5-year private rental anniversary is on us, and would like to see standards improving, but I don't.
