EICR Coding - Super Rough Kitchen Rewire

[ray-bentos]

I know which is why I was hunting for a reg which it specifically broke.
Would you be happy to leave this without a code on an EICR?
The EICR was requested to highlight the faults with this 'rewire' because it looked so rough.
Live conductors in an enclosure not being isolated by same switch? Best I can come up with is a labelling reg (514.11.1) but technically its not the same enclosure.

Why would two different live conductors in one enclosure not be allowed? Millions of two way lighting circuits in houses have this set up, what about a mulit gang grid switch in a warehouse?

sorry crappy explanation on my part, but reg 514.11.1 requires a label in each position where "...there are live parts which are not capable of being isolated by a single device."

Bit overboard to apply it to a domestic setting I agree, so can you confirm that you would be happy to leave 'as is' with no coding if you did this EICR?

Well yes, can you discoonnect the all the feeds by one main switch on the install?

Indeed you can................
it's being a long day.......

Still, would you be happy without coding this??
No-one seems to want to answer that one?

No code as no breach of BS7671 is there?

You could perhaps argue that as you need to dismantle part of another circuit to inspect it properly that it now contravenes 526.3 (but I might be stretching it a little).

Cable sheaths not taken inside an enclosure (socket) is a C3

I know that but how does that apply to the issue of the cooker circuit legs in the socket backboxes??
