EICR - Shallow Back Box Depth a Fault?

[JimLongDone]

I looked at it before I decided to move house, but it's only a problem now that the new people want an EICR. You are rather a nosey bunch aren't you.

I'd consider it something of a rare miracle if whoever does the EICR:
a) actually gets out of the van
b) actually took a socket off and looked behind it
c) even considered there might be an issue regarding depth of back box

....as there are an awful lot of cheap EICR certificate generating cowboys out there.

Even if you got a competent person, unless the socket is visibly not flush against the wall and 'looks wrong' I'd be highly surprised if it made it onto the observations list.
So I wouldn't lose sleep over this one.

There are USB sockets that only require a 25mm box (e.g. MK Logic K2744WHI).

I was surprised to discover this some time back and the same applies to K2745WHI, which also provide USB C.

Comes with the territory.

Surely you can just change the one back that you have swapped though. Easiest way.

Edit: sorry, I meant to say the one(s) that other people have changed. Obviously.
