[QUOTE="Davethsparky, post: 414491, member: 27165"] The presence of danger or potential danger doesn't change purely based on the age of the installation. If something is potentially dangerous then it will be the same regardless of when it was installed. the point of the EICR is to identify any defects or possible improvements relating to safety, bs7671 being the standard which defines what is, or is not, safe. a lighting circuit wouldn't warrant any code on its own, but if it was installed in T&E buried less than 50mm deep it would be a C3, if it's in a bathroom without supplementary bonding it's a C2 and if supplementary bonding is in place it's a C3. An EICR is not assessing compliance at the time of installation, it is assessing safety at the time of the inspection and test. [/QUOTE]
