    Hi Nick, great video. With reference with what date to put on inspection stickers after an EICR, I think the following wording from the EICR covers you to put the date of next inspection on once the EICR is complete and before any remedials are done:
    '...provided that any items in section 8 which have been attributed a Classification code C1 (danger present) are remedied immediately and that any items which have been attributed a code 2 (potentially dangerous) or require further investigation are remedied or investigated as a matter of urgency. Items which have been attributed a Classification code C3 should be improved as soon as practicable (see section 8).'

      Yes. Dropping out is viewed badly as it implies that your not going to stick with it.
      You will be up against people who have no black marks on their record and people with training who have lost jobs due to Covid.
      Apprentices cost a lot of time, money and frustration to train.

    Is there no way tradespeople can protect their tools in vans etc with smart water and/or dye ejectors as are used in security vans to protect money etc? I don't know how expensive the systems are to buy and install but if anyone breaking into a van came away with tools that were clearly visible as stolen it might put an end to what has to be one of the shabbiest things one working man can do to another?

      I think so, I can't see that it was really worth the difference of 3 quid or whatever in cost of materials for what would be a better job. PVC conduit would have looked better than trunking as well for the same cost.

    Had a letting agent yesterday insist that as a legal requirement they needed an EICR, even though the property had recently had a new consumer unit fitted, and had been inspected and tested as part of the installation. She said this was due to government rule changes that came into effect in June. Can you confirm that this is the case.

    • @Mainly_Electrical

    Great video Bundy! I'd also normally code the 1mm cable off the back of the socket as C2. But does anybody know if Reg 433.3.1 (ii) means that we need not code this if its a single accessory (e.g. a light) that is not likely to carry overload current due to its design?

    • @steveb1856
      @steveb1856 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Cable isn’t protected as it’s probably spurred off a 32A or 20A breaker, even if off a fused 13A spur the 1mm cable wouldn’t be protected regardless of the accessory on the end.

    • @lewis94uk
      @lewis94uk 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@steveb1856 No what he is referring to is that the fixture can only pull max 100w? so will never overload the cable. The same way you can tap off a busbar chamber with 10mm tails to a 40A fuse switch when the chamber fuses might be like 200A but no more then 40A can flow through the 10mm tails.

      @@lewis94uk the accessory can’t but a fault condition could overload the cable before the circuit protection breaker trips, which is why you need to fuse down for the 1mm cable, wire it in 2.5mm and the cable would be within the rating for the circuit protection?
