All of which proves if you get two reports on the same installation by two different electricians one might be a satisfactory.....and one an unsatisfactory.
Dont inspire confidence does it?

Then one or the other of them has done it wrong. The guidelines are pretty straightforward and simple to follow.

I really do wonder how many people have actually read the guidelines for carrying out an EICR which are part of the model form in bs 7671.
 
The ESC BP guide No 3 says:

Absence of supplementary bonding where required, such as in a location containing abath or shower, where any of the following three conditions are not satisfied:

All final circuits of the location comply withthe requirements of Regulation 411.3.2 forautomatic disconnection, and
All final circuits of the location haveadditional protection by means of a 30 mARCD, and
All extraneous-conductive-parts of thelocation are effectively connected to theprotective equipotential bonding (mainearthing terminal).

An old car without seat belts is less safe but is it potentially dangerous?
The car itself will be less safe but is it potentially dangerous?

Yes It hurts when you go through the windscreen

Just out of interest then if you carried out an EICR to a site that was installed to the 17th addition and there was now RCD protection for circuits in a bathroom /shower room would it be a code 2 or 3
