[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 508039, member: 6969"] We have the daft situation that we are supposed to pass comment on something we cannot fix ourselves and have little influence over. What if you give it a C2, which fails the installation, report it to the DNO as dangerous, and they come and say it is fine and do nothing? You would then i guess be obliged to re rate it as a C3 as "a higher authority" has declared it safe. My own view is you are testing this house. You are presented with a supply and earth appearing through the wall, from a property you do not necessarily have access to. You can guess it is TNS, you can be sure it is not TNCS. You would not normally get to see what is next door and whether or not it is open to being tampered with. So I would judge it on the condition of what I can see in the property I am testing. [/QUOTE]
