Can an EICR be unsatisfactory with only C3 codes?

[Julie.]

Circuit 11 an untraced circuit indicates a 2.5 radial on a 32A protective device and that in itself to me is a Code 2. They have managed a Zs for it though.

Other than the nonsense of an incorrect Zs, without knowing what is on the end, there may not be a problem.

If it is a fixed load, or a single fused outlet/FCU then overload protection is not required, so we can't know for sure that it's incorrect

Maybe mixed up with the cooker which is on a 16A.

Well he has signed it off with the job title of QS...

so it is fairly likely that he can't count!!!

I assume the op has removed that information as he has done a good job in removing all location and inspectors details.

Hi, yes I removed the details of the electrician using image editing software.

I'd get in touch with the person who did that report, say you've taken advice, and
1) you can't have an unsatisfactory report with only C3's
2) the two C3's don't stack up anyway, RCD protection is not needed for fault protection as disconnection times are met on all circuits, and RCD protection is not needed for fire protection as it isn't a farm.
If they don't apologise for their mistake and issue a satisfactory one, then plan B would be to get a letter saying all (fabricated) remedial work has been carried out and the installation is now satisfactory. Any competent sparks could have a look and do that for you, and this meets the PRS scheme obligations.

What's the first half of the postcode? Someone might offer to help you.

The first half of the postcode is B23.

If look at the contractors details the lines have not been filled in because of the tram lines would have been masked.

He did fill in his name and company details, I was able to edit them out.

I take it back anyway, as the inspector's name is actually on the results sheet!

So perhaps not as good a job as I thought.

Oops, guess I missed that one!
