[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 352364, member: 1607"] I can't comment about the actual installation nor specifically your EICR or the other EICR as I have seen neither. But general comments are, battery smoke detectors bare no relevance to a periodic inspection as they are not connected to the fixed wiring that you have been asked to inspect. A bathroom light that is outside of zones is no different from any other light in the property and it is perfectly permissible within BS7671 to be able to touch a lamp holder whilst standing of the floor, consider wall lamps, table lamps, numerous ceiling pendant fittings in all sorts of rooms. Therefore to give a code stating it is potentially dangerous requiring urgent action (C2) would on the face of it appear a little bit over zealous. Unless you had prior agreement to do remedial works then you should have just isolated any danger and left it to the client to decide if they want you to repair the lamp holder. A periodic inspection is just that, an inspection. Now if you have a signed contract requesting a PIR and undertake remedial work then pursue him for your money. Other than that on the information given it is possible for the customer to suggest you have been working outside of the remit of what he/she requested you to do. Doc H. [/QUOTE]
