The wiring regs have no bearing on DNO equipment. The DNOs work to a legal framework, the wiring regs is a simple guide book. Short of an electrician reporting directly to a DNO a dangerous situation ( which experienced electricians have always done) the EICR form has no effect. As I said, DNO/Suppliers equip is nothing to do with a privately owned charity.The IET sample forms require a visual inspection of the DNO equipment.
I agree with you here but I also understand what Erik is saying on our visual inspection we have to code the supply characteristics and I’ve had to ring the DNO as you’ve said to notify them of any immediate/potential danger, always same protocol with the call operator asking the same questions to determine severity of situation, almost all my concerns have been with the damaged casing which houses the supply cut out fuse. When they ask “is there immediate danger” my reply is “well I have the customers children here potching about and they can easily come in contact with exposed live parts” they instantly put it as an emergency and I’m not sure who mentioned gaffer tape but that’s exactly what I do. Stick that around the casing and know that will sort it until the DNO arrivesThe wiring regs have no bearing on DNO equipment.

You are going round in circles. Good builder Mr Church. Sadly he was killed in a plane crash. Great houses, great wiring. Disregard all this new age "coding", it has no legal standing. Oh by the way, its in the 18th ed, RCDs not reqd in previous eds. mind how you go. Regards, UKPNAll,
I absolutely agree safety first!
Cost is not the issue
I want to understand if "not have all circuits RCD protected" is an automatic C2 rating
- Page 12 of the Best Practice Guide attached - implies to me no this is not a C2.
I am on here for guidance from experts. I am NOT an electrician. I would/ do appreciate your response and guidance.
I agree I’m getting bored of all this just upgrade/update to modern standards as much as you possibly can. I’m not saying any previous editions are not safe just feel that we always go round in circles with 15th/16th/17th and 18th edition anyway it’s nearing Xmas and the main thing is to stay safe and enjoy life this virus has brought sadness to us all so I’ve stayed away from this forum but want to wish you all wellYou are going round in circles.
