Home Reports - not worth the paper?

[Des 56]

And the lazy person's way of determining this is to read the instrustions

Pardon me if you will,I was only trying to help with a reg number for you

But I take it from your earlier comment that you personally would fit IP ones in a bathroom even outside the zones?

Absolutely correct, but that is me adopting a standard by which I will install .....but coding non ip rated lights outside zones is not something I would do ......I would and do comment on them.

I am doing an EICR in a couple of weeks, when I visited the flat before I agreed to do it, I noted a non ip rated light in a wet room, well inside zone 2 .... My comment at the time will ensure that its been changed before I do the report

Sorry Des! I was referring to myself as 'the lazy person'! I was also agreeing with you and jokingly hinting that the 'non-lazy person' might do their own type testing. I think 'one way of complying' with reg. 512.2.1 in the case of bathroom lights would be to choose ones specified by the mfrs. as suitable - then one's covered oneself, as if it ends up with water in you can point to the specifications/instructions.

Sounds good - I hope they gave you the job of changing them!

The homeowner is going to change the offending light before I do the report ...........
