[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 551329, member: 250"] No idea why you are now talking about dead testing R1+R2...?? As you were previously suggesting that a termination at a light fitting could be considered as a code C2 during an EICR... Even though the cover is on and there are NO exposed live parts to present any immediate or potential danger to users under normal operation?? And somehow implied that your previous employer also consider this a C2?? Yet if the covers are on as I tried to point out under normal operation there cannot be any danger UNLESS someone did decide to do live working! An EICR is NOT about thinking of what the general public may or may not do, or every possible permutation of daft thing a user may try and do.... Otherwise everything could be a danger!!! You should be inspecting and testing an installation for compliance with the current edition of BS7671 and to assess if it is satisfactory or unsatisfactory for continued use. And as a C2 is Unsatisfactory... I would be very interested to hear how on earth anyone could justify C2 for a termination with a bit of bad workmanship that is not accessible to touch inside an insulated enclosure. If this is causing a bit of a rucus.. sounds like a few people do not understand the purpose of an EICR? [/QUOTE]
