  • Not sure they have taken account of the manufacturers instruction on this one or BS 7671 Regulation 134.1.1 thus my vote is a C3 for recommend improvement 

    BUT

    As an EICR or periodic inspection&test C3 it will probably left as is so this needs extra weight added to the argument

    Thus it is a C3 plus the following

    BS 7671 mandates that "adequate working space" must be provided for the operation, inspection, testing, and maintenance of all electrical equipment to prevent injury.  This requirement is reinforced by Regulation 15 of the statutory Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 (EAWR), which requires "adequate working space, adequate means of access, and adequate lighting"
