EICR coding of 521.8.1 violations (3P over 2 cables)

. As an aside, I remember having a discussion on a thread on here about painted cables with Lucien and the conclusion was that it made no tangible difference.

The only time I've seen it make a noticeable difference was in a farmhouse where lord knows what had been painted on the exposed beams and it had eaten into some of the old surface run T&E.

At a guess I'd say original Creosote. That stuff was nasty!!

Creosote will degrade PVC, but used on beams inside a house? That stuff stinks.

True. Although I'd hazard a guess that things like woodworm treatment are probably chemically quite similar? Don't know.
