Code 1 Problems - Am I being Scammed?

I think your two code 1's are actually code 2s from what i have read on code structures. Code 1 is reserved for imminent danger to persons or property!! But i stand to be corrected on this matter.

On reflection Yes I guess you could give it a code 2 for the 32amp breaker but for the flex to the hob ignition I still feel a code 1 is acceptable.

A code 1 is attributed to an immediate danger that does not require a second scenario to occur to create the danger.

Examples are exposed live parts etc.

Have a look at the guide (link above) for further information.

Well it's certainly not something you would want to remain in place, that's for sure!! Perhaps IQ might add his veiw on that one...lol!! As i said, i stand to be corrected in both cases!!

OOOOps he just did, .....sort of!! lol!!

You are weaning me to reconsider again. I guess there is a constant load attached to that circuit and no possible over load issue. I might reconsider making it a code 2 but will never admit it now.

I would be interested in his Schedule of Inspections and test results (always look at that first before codes when looking at someones PIR). Everyone codes things differently, however looking at those two sheets can tell alot if the person is competent or not ie all boxes correctly filled and test results clear to read not made up scribble. Can you scan them and post? be interesting to know how long he was at the property too.

Thanks for all the replies, it seems my supiscions have been confirmed. Here is the inspection report as requested. Based on this are there any additional insights?

Have just posted a link to a report, waiting for a mod to approve it
