[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 547954, member: 250"] An EICR does not return a Pass or Fail result.. The overall result is either the installation is Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory for continued use. Any observations are noted with recommendation codes.. Observations that make an installation unsatisfactory are items that are Immediately or Potentially dangerous. Examples of typical codes can be found in a free to download PDF.

Assuming no cables are damaged and all terminations are secure, I cannot see how your example could be considered a C1 or C2? One simple remedy is to just replace all the accessory fronts with items suitable for 25mm boxes... Or as you say buy some spacers.. So hardly an immediate or potential danger! Are your items USB sockets? there are various manufactures who make USB sockets that don't need a 35mm box. [/QUOTE]
