    Can an EICR be unsatisfactory with only C3 codes?

    I recently had and EICR done and received an 'unsatisfactory' report due to not all circuits being RCD protected on the consumer unit. The consumer unit was installed in 2007 and complied with all wiring regulations at the time (image attached). Does it need to be upgraded? I have attached the...

    What does 'mixed lines' mean with regards an EICR?

    A customer has just rang. His daughter lives in Scotland and has just had an EICR carried out. Part of the report says 'mixed lines'. He really didn't have many more details, he seemed to think it was to do with new cables being put in. I realise this is very vague, but just wondered if 'mixed...
