[QUOTE="Andy™, post: 392448, member: 2012"] had a look at a property with a very recent EICR from an NIC 'electrician'. hes given a C3 to kitchen downlights because they are not fire rated. but looking closer at the schedule of inspections, he has C3 in the box for 'recessed luminares installed to minimise build up of heat by use of 'fire rated' fittings...' so.. since when did a fire rated light automatically mean no risk of heat?! and the extent of installation covered by report is great too 'scope of works: upgrade supply earthing arrangements and non-compliant fuse board to amd3 RCD protected unit and furnish new installation cert/ numerous code 2's identified! unable to certify, client has decided to use an alternative electrical contractor for remedial works' report also has a C2 for a short bit of 1.5 T&E used on ring between socket & fused spur... and to top off his bad work, DNO told him he cant have TNCS and has to stay TT (like the rest of the area)... so he's stuck a 951 on the sheath... but is OK, he's approved by DNO to do it... hopefully get some pics next week [/QUOTE]
