Discuss PIR coding help in the Periodic Inspection Reporting & Certification area at ElectriciansForums.net

went to carry out a periodic report today and noted the points below. what are everyones thoughts on the coding?

1. no earth connected to metal light fitting. earth in cable but not on light. Code 2
2. twin and earth cable in roof space. property being thatched roof no rodent protection. No code
3. no 30ma rcd protection to ground floor sockets. socket could be used outside. Code 2 (or code 4 100mA RCD is useful probably not a very bad shock)
4. no fan isolator in downstaires toilet. no window No code
5. socket over cooker. plug lead over above hob on double socket. Code 2
6. cooker cable not clipped to surface from isolator to switch. Code 4
7. no main earth bond on oil pipe. Code 2

The supply is from over head but could not find any earthing stake as main earth. disconnected bonding to water and found out that the earth was from the pipe work in the house being cross bonded. phoned electricity company and sending someone out to see if they can convert to pme (tncs). Am I right in asking them first to convert as it is their property. Something you should discuss with customer first unless you have been told to do all remedial works, PIR is recommendation not action. Certainly a good idea but may well cost.

going back tomorrow so will find out what the electricity company say.

what codings would everyone say the points are.

thanks.
Nothing requires further investigation so no code 3s.
