Whats the most points you've found on one circuit? Currently doing an EICR at a restaurant/ function venue and found a lighting circuit with 46 points! Apart from a few E/Ls it's all 600x600 drop in's and ES downlights, low energy lamps now but originally would have been tungsten. 1.5's in plastic conduit on a 16a 3871.
Just debating how many of the 46 points to drop for inspection given that I normally allow half an hour a circuit!
 
Funny this I was thinking on similar lines. Just doing the schedules for job which previously had 9 points on a ring final, it has now been butchered, is no longer a ring final and serves 36 sockets over four classrooms, previously did one room.

I normally do 30% so that's what around 14 points :eek:
Might be increased if problems were found tho.
