if you refer to switch boxes, they were not exposed and the plate fixing screws were either plastic or the back box had nylon screw lugs.what about metal back boxes

agreed.if no plastic lugs on. no cpc then it is a code 2
Personally I'd put a c2 code on the EICR as I'd class no cpc as a potentially dangerous situation although there's no immediate risk they certainly could be. let's face it who's going to argue with you. If it's not safe it's not safethanks. I got their in the end
I'd put the c2 code on your Observations sheet and put Lim in all the boxes regarding test results sheet. Also if you want put an operatonal limitation on your Observations sheet explaing why no tests have been carried out on the circuits in question.Personally I'd put a c2 code on the EICR as I'd class no cpc as a potentially dangerous situation although there's no immediate risk they certainly could be. let's face it who's going to argue with you.

How is it a Limitation when the conductor is not present to do the reading in the first place. It is Not Applicable. Is it not like putting the absence of rcd testing as a Limitation because none Exist?I'd put the c2 code on your Observations sheet and put Lim in all the boxes regarding test results sheet.

Most people on here share the opinion that if there are no accessories which require an earth then Code 3, if there are unearthed Class 1 accessories then Code 2 as fault protection is not provided. This must be your decision though, some people feel Code 2 regardless of the current situation due to the fact that in the future an unknowing person may fit a Class1 fitting or accessory to the system no matter how many notices you stick on the CU.westward 10 the man. you said about that daves code recommendation on ecir point me in the write direction please

You would hope so but while people can go to B&Q and buy all sorts of bits the risk will always be there.I like this answer, as on the day of the test it is what you find. Just like the MOT test.
Reguarding the future modifications is that not down to the suitably qualified Electrician carrying out the work refusing to modify the circuit if it does not comply to the current version of BS7671.
