Yeah I take no cpc, but you have a point. Not clear is it.

No I immediately assumed no continuity till I read your post. Can you clarify please OP.

We will get there on the end!

Are there cpcs from the dist board and none at accessories or a total absence of them?

 

[7029 dave]

Okay you can not test for the obvious, this is a EICR, I would give it a code3 at least, if metal accessories etc code2.

 

[buzzlightyear]

none at cu and none at the accessories

 

[westward10]

none at cu and none at the accessories

Right okay on the schedule it will be NA because you can't give a reading if there is no conductor to give a reading for, even though NA is self explanatory the schedule should explain this. See Daves post for Coding recommendations, light switch back boxes also need earthing unless they are plastic or have nylon fixing points.

 

[buzzlightyear]

thanks. I got their in the end

 

[buzzlightyear]

just one on question which dave has coding recommendations

See Post 12 on this thread.

IMO, It's a C3 for no cpc if all class II fittings. C2 if classI fittings.

 

[Taylortwocities]

Agree. Also there should be a limitation note on the report, and a notice posted at the CU

 

[buzzlightyear]

what about metal back boxes
