Discuss BS3871 on EICR classifiaction code? in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Although Class II fittings reduce the risk it is not permitted to use Class II as a means of protection in an unsupervised installation such as a dwelling.
 
The latest best practise guide suggest that :
for class 2 fittings

Absence of supplementary bonding for installed Class II equipment where required (such as in a location containing a bath or shower), in case the equipment is replaced with Class I equipment in the future

this does not require reporting or any code
Who said the lights are class 2?
And what about the other exposed/extraneous conductive parts that may be simultaneously accessible?
If there is no RCD and no (or incomplete) supplementary bonding, then it's a C2.
 
I think what its saying is if all the equipment is class 2 there can be no exposed-conductive-parts , therefore the potential difference can not exist.

You cannot use Class II as a means of protection in an unsupervised installation such as a dwelling.
