[QUOTE="binky, post: 451055, member: 490"] 2 core singles???? If the switch plates and light fittings are class II ie not metal you don't actually need the CPC. If there are metal accessories, I would test using a wander lead. If the residence is private, you can advise that ccts need re-wiring / cpc needs introducing / repairing. Given the age of the property, what you have found is not that unusual, it's the way things were done back then. Somewhere deep in the NICEIC advice files I did read that if the customer has metal accessories with no earthing, and they don't want to rewire, then as a last resort you should try to persuade the customer to introduce RCD protection. I would cert it as satisfactory. Do the report as it stands and advise on a suitable course of action. If they choose to follow your advice, issue a covering letter. [/QUOTE]
